downforce
I know how important downforce is to race cars and formula car make a ton but I was wonder if anyone knew how much lemans cars made in comparision. The lemans cars should make more because they have more surface area but formula has huge wings. I don't know the rules for ground effects in lemans but formula is required to be pretty flat on the bottom.
anyway whats your opinion? |
