Ferrari's engineers worked hard at this, using active control spoilers that adjust their positions -- and therefore the amount of downforce created -- depending on the speed of the car. At 135 mph, almost a half-ton of downforce is pressing down on the Enzo. Photo courtesy Ferrari SpA ...
Small front air "splitters" created downforce at the nose, while side splitters beneath the doors worked together with an enclosed bellypan to smooth airflow on the way to rear "venturi" exits. Both cars employed an aluminum space-frame overlaid with aluminum panels, but the GT benefited from...
The total downforce created by the cars is expected to be only slightly lower than those of last year, but the proportion generated by the underbody is much greater, and that of the wings and over-body correspondingly less. As a driver catches the car ...
This is done by moving the counterweight on the back of the arm and adjusting the bias (sideways force) to compensate for the inward pull of the record groove. The cartridge manufacturer will recommend a suitable range of downforce, usually between 1.5 and 2.5g, with a specific weight listed...
it is not enough to characterize the aerodynamics of the car with constant drag and downforce coefficients, as was the case up to this point. Instead, a different submodel of the aerodynamic component is chosen, which allows us to apply an aerodynamic map to the car. This map defines all ...
The circuit requires therefore unique aerodynamic solutions and rear wings which are not seen at any other circuit on the calendar. Downforce induces drag but the relationship is not linear, given the myriad ways downforce can be created at different speed ranges, car ...
creates downforce, a measure of how much vertical aerodynamic load is created by an F1 car’s surfaces. The bottom line for fans: The new design and rules about ground effect and downforce are meant to enable closer racing and the potential for more overtakes, leading to more ...
So then it is by combining the Cd with the Frontal area that we arrive at the actual amount of drag created by a vehicle. Lift/Downforce Downforceis the same force as the lift experienced by airplane wings, only it acts to press down instead of lifting up. Every object travelling through...
If the airflow under the car starts to leak out, it suddenly loses downforce, resulting in the bouncing on the straights that plagued a number of teams during testing. Mercedes is hopeful its problems can be solved without a major rethink of its concept, allowing it to extract the true ...
