YRC PCI Racing Wing Endplates
YRC now offers a performance endplate design to improve the DF and overall efficiency of the popular PCI Racing Airfoil. (see design diagram in pictures for profile of product.) Endplates are also available in 5 powder coating options: raw aluminum, wrinkle black (shown in photos) matte black, gloss black and gloss white (also in gallery.)
Made from lightweight .063/.080 5052 aluminum, our CFD-tested endplates are designed to improve the performance of your existing airfoil. Available in both low drag and high downforce configurations, they work to improve the efficiency of your wing by decreasing the strength of the tip vortices. These areas of turbulence are present at the outer edges of all motorsport wings and are the result of the mixing of the high pressure air above and the low pressure air below. When these areas clash directly, it can lead to additional form drag caused by the large size of the vortex/turbulence bubble.
Adding pressure relief slots above the wing allows these two pressure zones to equalize more gradually, reducing the size of the wingtip vortices and the corresponding drag. Additionally, reducing the size and intensity of the wingtip vortices allows the underwing vortices to be stronger, drawing more air beneath the more powerful low-pressure side of the wing. Finally, the addition of kicked lower flaps enlarges the volume of low pressure flow beneath the wing, allowing the freer-flowing suction side to contribute a greater proportion of the overall downforce.
Our straight, low drag endplate incorporates over-wing pressure relief slots (to blend the high and low pressure flows leaving the wing more smoothly) minimizing the size & strength of drag-producing wingtip vortices. This version is optimized for efficiency and offers the lowest drag, but still improves suction beneath the airfoil for higher downforce
The high downforce bend incorporates the same pressure relief slots above the wing, while also adding a lower flap to further improve underwing flow volume and decrease pressure under the airfoil.
It worth noting that both endplates offer reduced drag and performance over commonly used rectangular endplates. Each set also includes 4 black M8 buttonhead hex screws for easy mounting to your airfoil's pre-tapped ends.
Timing:
Please allow 2 weeks for laser cutting, fabrication & coating + 3-5 days for Domestic UPS Ground shipments.
International orders: Please contact us for an accurate shipping quote and details on timing prior to placing your order. We ship internationally with vPost, so our product must be shipped locally to one of their US distribution points prior to making its way overseas (with customers paying all shipping charges.)
