  2. Downforce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downforce

    They create downforce that enhances the grip of the front tires, while also optimizing (or minimizing disturbance to) the flow of air to the rest of the car. The front wings on an open-wheeled car undergo constant modification as data is gathered from race to race, and are customized for every characteristic of a particular circuit (see top ...

  3. Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Murray_Automotive_T.50

    As a result of the T.50’s fan-assisted aerodynamic design, the need for any aerodynamic package on the front or rear of the T.50, such as a splitter, a wing or an aggressive aerodynamic design are considered ineffective in providing further downforce and are thus considered negligible, allowing a free form and flowing exterior design. The T ...

  4. Ground effect (cars) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_(cars)

    A substantial amount of downforce is available by understanding the ground to be part of the aerodynamic system in question, hence the name "ground effect". Starting in the mid-1960s, 'wings' were routinely used in the design of race cars to increase downforce (which is not a type of ground effect). Designers shifted their efforts at ...

  5. Chaparral 2J - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaparral_2J

    The car had a "skirt" made of Lexan extending to the ground on both sides, laterally on the back of the car, and laterally from just aft of the front wheels. It was integrated with the suspension system so the bottom of the skirt would maintain a distance of one inch from the ground regardless of g-forces or anomalies in the road surface.

  6. Spoiler (car) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoiler_(car)

    A retractable front spoiler can reduce the scraping of the car on curbs or other road imperfections, while still reducing drag at high speeds. Powered fans, such as in the Chaparral 2J, do the equivalent of spoilers and increase the downforce, hence the traction and handling of the vehicle (See ground effect). Research continues on the use of ...

    Drivers race on the apron at Chicagoland Speedway (the area between the white and yellow lines). aero cover See wheel shroud. air jacks Pneumatic cylinders strategically mounted to the frame near the wheels of a racing car, which project downwards to lift the car off the ground during a pit stop to allow for quick tire changes or provide mechanics access to the underside of the car for repairs.

  8. Automotive aerodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_aerodynamics

    Automotive aerodynamics is the study of the aerodynamics of road vehicles. Its main goals are reducing drag and wind noise, minimizing noise emission, and preventing undesired lift forces and other causes of aerodynamic instability at high speeds.

  9. Aston Martin Vulcan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aston_Martin_Vulcan

    Two front integrated headlights have been added, under the inspiration of the modern Aston Martin design. The styling of the lights mimic the factory lights of the Vulcan. As for the front splitter, the car's fences, placed on the side of the aerodynamic piece for more downforce, have been removed, and the length of the carbon fibre splitter ...
