all the touring car races i see, every car has one of those, and all the cars are civics, tegs, and similar sport compacts, and it's a race on pavement
ALL the civics, integras, accords, etc. etc. you see in touring, and N1 races are race prepped. That means major weight reduction. No interior, no tar, nothing....just chassis, suspension, motor, seat, and driver. The wing helps b/c the cars they run are super light. Going at speeds of 150-180 mph can be dangerous without downforce on a 1-1200 lb. car.
You are in a 2400+ lb car with full interior and safety features. Your top speed is probably 120 even if you tried and if you even try to go that fast at long periods of time. You dont need downforce at local highway speeds of 60-80.
