I don't think there was anything like wind tunnel testing or computer aided design at this point.
Although there were some very smart designers at work, it was a lot more experimentation than proven science.
The wings were simple, but effective through trial and error.
And as the wings got higher and bigger, the ruling body eventually stepped in.
Same thing goes for "ground effects".
It was all kinds of out of the box thinking and experimenting.
And as they figured out what worked and what didn't, the opposing teams would try to catch up.
Unfortunately more and more drivers were at risk, and again, the rules needed to be changed for safety and to even the playing the field.

VonMick...even at this scale (small in my opinion!) many of the parts would benefit from cardstock ...not paper...and at least 65lb(176gsm).
I'm not sure what the 160g pproduct is (you are mentioning)but if you are using it on this model, it still looks too thin.
I'm just suggesting for future consideration...if you try this model again...maybe in colour...
give some lightweight cardstock a try.
It may feel different at first, but you'll grow to like it.
I still think this model looks neat!
And its a great subject matter.
