Not "denying" it. Thats the trick to their solution. You yourself said the same thing. What you see in the race is not what the tests see.

I'm not sure just how many times but I suppose it must be repeated. When the wing is tested, it's not connected to the cheese wedges. Thus the wing is locked back in low drag trim. and it behaves just like any other wing. The ACO or whomever isn't testing the wing in the downforce configuration. Otherwise they would see the movement with the allowed weights. |

The video clearly shows this...come on...really??

You must not have gotten what I was saying. The test for deflection is what I was talking about. Thats why I said THE TRICK. Please read my post again. No reason for you to jump to making fun of people.
