Here's another picture of a race car with a giant rear wing. Yup, wings serve no purpose on FWD cars. 

that's a FWD race car?
The wings on that car have nothing to do with being wrong wheel drive. It weighs 1930 lbs and has 750 hp. The wings help it not take flight.
FWIW, that FWD design was completely non competitive. One race only. The next year the program was cancelled.
On the other hand, that chassis can be converted to AWD and was designed as such from the beginning.
i realize that...my point is the wings (or front and rear spoilers) are important on race cars, as they are very powerful and quite light (compared to regular cars we plebes drive)...they also drive at 10/10s limits on a track and at speeds none of us drive...i think in the case of CTR, they've done it more for looks (give it that F&F look) than outright practicality...the wing on it would offer minimal downforce on a car that isn't really any quicker than a Golf R.
