ok, so RWD cars and large spoilers = sense (adding downforce to rear tyres)
FWD cars with large rear spoilers is kinda pointless then ?!? surely a massive spoiler at the front of the car will create downforce exactly where its neede.. AT THE FRONT !!!
and before we all laugh at them for being nobbers.

Do spliters and low down front spoilers not do exactly the same without looking stupid?

is the idea of a rear spoiler on FWD cars to keep the back on the road through the bends?

front wings are nothing new, mounting it so high up is new and pointless though. Rear spoilers are hight up because thats where the air is, spoilers need air flowing over them to function. rear spoiler on any car be it front or rear wheel drive does the same job.

That would be the picture I'm talking about... fair enough if I had posted another picture what you said would be quite funny. Unfortunately though, it's not.

I'd use an engine, gearbox, splitter and a front bumper to keep the front wheels on the ground personally
