Automotive Aerodynamics

Apr 18, 2007

For cutting-edge aerodynamics on production-based cars, look no further than Germany’s DTM and Japan’s Super GT cars. Both series have rules allowing significant use of aero aids (such as multi-element wings, diffusers, super-low side skirts, air dams, and splitters) while keeping reasonably faithful to the cars’ original lines. These components combine to produce prodigious amounts of downforce, helping to keep the car planted through corners at ballistic speeds.
