In the last article we discussed how the changes in downforce across the ride height range affect the overall car performance across the lap. In this article we will discuss how the flow in cornering conditions affect its performance. The grip-limited sectors within...

In the last article, we discussed in basic terms how downforce and drag will affect the race car performance within the grip-limited and power-limited sectors. In this article, we will go into more detail about the aerodynamic performance, particularly downforce,...

Aerodynamic engineers will often use the expression “more downforce, less drag” to summarise their goal when developing a component for a race car. While this is certainly a good starting point, there are many other parameters and trade-offs to be considered and those...
