Directly back, two free holes. They lined up perfectly with my kognition setup. Mine is also mounted really close to the back, my brace is only like 3 inches long to it.

I would have to go pull my wing off to take pics

I think I see the holes your talking about, I'm going to use the bolts for the latch mounting plate since its all of about 2 inches from the upright.

The last event of the season came and went. It was at hockenheimring and used the Short course with an additional chicane added. I had an absolute blast even though the track itself is rather tame and lacks any excitement.

This was the first round with any real aero on the car. As such I spent the entire day playing around with the wing and seeing what worked and what didn't.

The back end is so much more planted now. That being said, its very easy to make the car understeer so I'm at an impasse. Do I continue to develop the aero for the car or stick to just the wing and accept a mediocre improvement ?

A huge thanks to the German Time attack crew! They truly have made a great series that is still very much at its roots a grassroots series. The feeling in the paddock is always great and the paddock is always up for helping one another. The teams, win or lose were always class acts and I look forward to next year!

What AoA did you settle on? Any more than about 3 degrees and you better have some stout front aero IMO.

Hard to see, but I've got a carbon splitter that I made on.It only extends out 2 inches from the Nismo bumper and extends back to the subframe.

I got the quickest lap with a 5 degree AoA. I was able to get within .1 of that time with six degrees and tried all the way up to 7 degrees. After 5 degrees the understeer progressively increased in fast corners. Conversely High speed braking was improved with a lot less dancing out of the back end.
