FWD Cars DO STILL NEED WINGS! It's a Huge misconception to think FWD cars aren't affected by Aero, I mean just look at them...they're still shaped like cars. Air doesn't magically choose which car shaped object to ignore because of it's drivetrain, it will still hit the FWD car and flow around it accordingly. Yes, for straight line racing, FWD setup doesn't need a wing, as they make enough grip on launch without needing a wing. However, for corners? Again, the air doesn't care about car Drivetrain and take a vacation if it sees a FWD car coming by the turn, it still hits it...and thus the FWD car needs downforce to grip it!
