I'll let you know after my track day tomorrow. There is a chicane going into the back straight that I would briefly have to lift on, otherwise the backend would come out. I hit that around 70-75 mph or so. Hopefully it will help. If it keeps the back end more planted I will be able to easily shave .75-1.0 seconds off a lap time.

I read somewhere that the spoilers/wickerbills don't really begin to have any effect until around 130mph.

Had my track day, tons of fun! This particular track is only 1.3 miles and the fastest I get is about 105 mph on the straights and the highest speed turn is about 75. The chicane was too slow for me to really tell if the wickerbill helped. However, coming off the back straight I hit 104-105ish and going into the turn #1 at 75 mph. I never hit it that fast before. In fact there was a 1LE that went of the track at about 65-68 because he didn't have traction. I'd say the wickerbill may have helped a little bit on that turn.

Here's on of my videos. The GT500 mid way into the video was holding me up and wouldn't flag me around to pass
