Collision meshes in Torque

Can some have a look at this and tell me if it's a convex or concave collision mesh?
Will this cause any problems in Torque because it seems when I place this object on the track in Starter.racing, the buggy goes up the side of it, but on some angles goes right through it.
Though the collision mesh seems okay - I may have stuffed it up somehow.

To closely map shapes like the wing, is it possible then to attach several convex piece of geometry as separate objects instead?

You can have up to 8 collision meshes.

Okay thanks for the tip. Anyone know how to work around this?

ust did an aproximation of your object in the background, and grey ones showing you something more like whats expected. the red faces show where the obvious errors are in your shape. See how the red faces make a concave dent in the shape?
found a quick tutorial for unreal that may help:
