Well, that's one way of getting the engine bay temps down..
But that wing placement is just absolutely dumb.
Not only is it sitting right in the turbulence behind the roof, wich is probably worse due to the softtop, it is also sitting WAY too close to the cars body.
That thing just adds way too much pointless drag and likely produces 0 downforce.

Unrelated:
Raised my tire pressures further from 2,0/2,2 bar to 3,5/4,0 bar. (0,5 above sidewall pressure)
Rolling resistance decreased noticeably, I can now coast down parts in neutral where I had to stay on the throttle before.
