Downforce in a sentence

But the Dutch driver and Red Bull finally met their match at the unique, low-speed, high-downforce Marina Bay Circuit.

Basically, by pushing or pulling on the steering wheel, drivers can change the toe angle of the front tires in order to manipulate airflow and downforce on straights and corners.

Can you explain that, and are you happy with the current level of downforce in IndyCars?

Even more impressive is how the GTR matches the Senna’s downforce at 15-percent lower speeds.

Sure, compared to an F1 car, you’re missing the outright downforce, but you still feel the Gs in the corners and it definitely reacts closer to an F1 car than a normal road car.

The Bolide lightweight, high-downforce supercar that is built around the all-wheel-drive drivetrain from the Bugatti Chiron, and then takes it to another level by shedding a massive amount of weight to achieve Formula 1 level performance.

The experimental study of the Bugatti Bolide is a track-oriented hyper sports car featuring a derived from series production as powertrain combined with a minimal body for maximum downforce.

The more downforce, the lower they ride.

The result is known as ‘ground effects’ and it creates huge downforce without the need for large wings on the body work that create drag.

This enables the Evija to produce massive downforce while reducing drag.

I was able to tweak not only my steering sensitivity but also the amount of downforce my car was allowed to endure.

Traditionally they have been quick on the low downforce tracks and after victories in Monza and Spa everyone really thought they'd struggle here.

Beyond that, it's a standard Leaf with a bi-plane spoiler (which Nissan says adds downforce without increasing aerodynamic drag), a custom grille and front bumper, and side skirts.

Laid flat, Subaru claims you’ll find a 64 percent improvement in rear downforce.

More manufacturers are recognizing that downforce on working tools, not just planters, is important to till every acre right without running the risk of soil compaction on soils that are more prone to that problem.

The exterior of the Leaf Nismo has double layered wings that adds downforce without messing up the slipper aero of the car that helps with driving range.

Top speed was 229.5 mph, but even more surprising is the average speed: that worked out to a crazy 145.3 mph, something car and driver owe in no small part to the downforce work.

Aerodynamic downforce slowly gained importance in car design from the appearance of aerofoils during the late 1960s.

Downforce of 2.5 times the car's weight can be achieved at full speed.

For the 1981 season the FIA introduced a convert minimum ride height for the cars, intended to slow them in corners by limiting the downforce created by aerodynamic ground effect.
