Edit: ok, is the +45 spoiler a lift and drag inducing worst case scenario no one would ever use ever? Or am I seeing it wrong
My biggest issue is that we don't even know what is the car configuration. Sedan? Hatchback? How aero iit was before they started? So there is not enough information to be useful in designing aero efficient vehicle.

What is encouraging that study confirms that properly positioned VG and spoiler combination works better than spoiler alone, and VGs when used properly can improve aero efficiency.
