Yes. I have an obligation to Kognition to run the wing for 2010, but even without that obligation it would probably stay. Although I think its over-scale for the car as it sits right now, at the time we designed it, our number one goal was to build it to the maximum limits of the time attack Street Tire Class rulebook. Had I known at the time that I would not be racing the car this season I probably would have opted to go with one that is not as wide and maybe not as tall for aestetic purposes. I personally find a lot of beauty in functional aerodynamics and will always favor agressive aero over your typical show car styling, thats just my personal taste. I think the depth and size of the new SSRs will help make the car look wider thus make the wing not look so oversized. Plus the addition of an agressive front lip and some flatter style side skirts will add to the agressive look and be a better match to the wing itself. Plus its not to say that this car wont see some track time this year, it just wont be seeing competition. I still want to keep it as track ready as possible in case an opportunity presents itself to get it back into the action.
