Something that would not be beneficial at all to a front wheel drive car unless it was capable of oversteering, and hardly of any use for the form of motorsport in question. If one were inclined to add any aerodynamic aids to a front wheel drive, I would recommend a spoiler set instead.
Where did you copy pasta this from?
