Downforce - Explained

From the creator

What is downforce? How does downforce work? Downforce is a downward force that a car experiences at speed due to its aerodynamic design. Features like rear wings and spoilers can help create downforce, and allow a car to corner faster. Formula 1 cars can create huge amounts of downforce, allowing for 4-5g corners. This video helps explain how it's possible.
