Should be pretty functional, although what kind of racing club would allow such a setup???

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.


How the hell did the race organizers allow such a setup?

Since the Scion TC is a FWD car, the front spoiler does increase downforce on the front allowing better grip and acceleration. Although a good front splitter could achieve the same.
