Excessive rear wing clearance on the 14-EX car, creating a misleading appearance.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/LG23. 5. 28.

14-EX CAR. +7390

The rear wings on 14-EX have at least 1" more clearance on maximum bump than necessary. This gives the car the appearance at the rear of being fitted with rather over-strong springs which actually is not the case.
