Good Aerodynamics offer the least resistance. Aerodynamics address four main areas of concern. (Frontal Pressure, Lift/Down Force and Drag.) Aerodynamics address four main areas of concern. (Frontal Pressure, Lift/Down Force and Drag.)

Drag Enemy of race cars. Drag, is comprised primarily of two forces, Frontal Pressure and Lift / Down Force. These forces if not taken care of by good aerodynamic features can ruin a cars performance.

Frontal Pressure and Rear Vacuum Frontal Pressure is caused by the air attempting to flow around the front of the car. Rear Vacuum is caused by the "hole" left in the air as the car passes through it.

Lift/Down Force Down force is the same as the lift experienced by airplane wings, only it acts to press down, instead of lifting up. Not to be forgotten, the underside of the car is also responsible for creating a good amount of down force.

What are the Key Designs on this Vehicle?

Aerodynamic Tips Have a minimized frontal area / small grill, to minimize frontal pressure. Have a minimized frontal area / small grill, to minimize frontal pressure. Have minimal ground clearance below the grill, to minimize air flow under the car. Have minimal ground clearance below the grill, to minimize air flow under the car. Converge Bodywork Slowly. Bodywork which quickly converges, forces the air flow into turbulence, and generates a great deal of drag. Converge Bodywork Slowly.
