Its a pretty big event in our little country, so lots of photographers are interested, either hired by publishers or independant ones where you can buy your pics for a reasonable (debatable, I know) fee. I was offered to share a pit box with one of the publishing parties. But rest assured, they took plenty pics of all cars present

I know Clive, don't worry
Bruce: I really wouldn't want any bigger. I also think it makes the whole construction less stable if its wider then this. As Rob experienced, if the wing gives too much down force, the metal under the rear wing can give in (and probably gives more drag also), so too much wing is not wanted either I feel.
The center pod on the wing is already my own addition, which I found necessary (even when the wing was in its original low position, that was needed to make it stable) as well as the extra diagonal rod to the intercooler top.
As it is now, its very stable and I don't see it move or shake at all at any speed or surface conditions. Better stands and stronger material (steel plate instead of the alu now) should make it able to do without the extra horizontal/diagonal rod (I hope).
Maybe sometime next year
Thanks for the nice comments guys!
