The angle of attack of the wing on some cars can be adjusted to increase downward force over the rear wheels, but it has the dual result of increasing drag. The precise physics of the effects of these aerodynamic forces is one of the most protected secrets in racing. The simulation and testing of wings is both computationally expensive and wind-tunnels are typically energy intensive to run. |
