Ok. With a wing mounted rearward and beyond the "fulcrum," couldn't less angle of attack be used to generate the same amount of downforce, thereby decreasing drag?

If anything, I've seen a tendancy for race cars to mount the rear wing as far back as possible (in some cases even farther back than the body of the car will allow).

I too wonder what the reasoning for this is. There has to be a counterpoint to the argument that you'd want the wing as close to the rear axles as possible, otherwise I'd think that you'd see every wing mounted right over the wheels.

Most likely for "clean" air.

Nice! Why would you need to go lower?
