All modern racing cars use aerodynamic downforce ( negative lift ) to improve traction without
adding significant weight to the car.

On the Cover :

Using high downforce allows high cornering speeds on the twisting, turning roads courses
typical of Formula One races. The maximum downforce can exceed twice the weight of the car
at 200 miles per hour straightaway speeds ! Of course high downforce also causes high drag,
which reduces straightaway speed, so a compromise is needed.

Details of under-body airflow management, commonly called " Ground Effect ", are not easily
seen. Airflow under the car is routed carefully, using diffuses designed to the limits of the rules,
to develop the most negative pressure, and cause it to act the largest possible area under the
car, to develop additional downforce.
