A friend of mine wants me to build the wing in this photo for his F100.
Would you make this as a single flat sheet with a cosmetic layer followed by several layers of heavy cloth, or, 2 layers of Carbon, PVC core, and 2 layers of carbon? Hardware is on him to figure out. Just talking the layup.
Deadline is August for a 250 mile rally run up a highway.
Sorry couldn’t get the pic to load but here is the truck:

Foam core with kevlar patches to help reduce rip through of the fixings should be plenty for that kind of application.
The truck might be powerful but I doubt it has massive high speed due to being an aerodynamic brick (compared to a sportscar). As long as it is reasonably stiff and properly mounted to the body then it should stay nicely in place and transfer the downforce to the frame without excessive flex.
