Hi

Sure this may have been seen before.

Shows how unstable the car becomes at speed and under braking, when a spoiler is removed. (at end of clip)

Worth noting that\'s a 99 spec spoiler - the previous incarnations have been proven again and again to have pretty much bugger all effect other than visual.

My car certainly doesn\'t feel unstable at speed.

Remember it\'s used at it\'s limits in the video.
By the way the driver knows how to brake ^^

If you don\'t drive your FD to the limit, you will never notice any big change with or without a wing.
Anyway aero is critical and underestimated.
