Our goal is to reduce the excess downforce to a point where we do create a little separation. |
Techniques for generating massive amounts of downforce from the bodywork of a single-seater racing car have limited practical application. |
These include tire compound, downforce, gear ratio, engine setup, and fuel level. |
The extra downforce is needed to help the tires get a grip on the track, which becomes greasy and slippery in the July heat. |
We tried a low downforce aero package, but I was baulked by traffic and so we were not able to see the difference. |
You can control suspension height and stiffness, anti-roll bar and the obligatory downforce and gear ratios. |
