NASCAR aero tech.
I'll preface this by saying yes, their goals are a bit different than ours. They need downforce, but drag reduction is valuable.
These folks have 2 things most of us dont, wind tunnels and money.
Today a car almost failed inspection due to some "modifications" to his bumper.
The judges were running their hands where the bumper curves to meet the fender.
They applied some very thick decals on the break. I'm guessing these work like vortex generators to make the air bend and not seperate from the fender?
They seem to have passed with "OH, thats just our sponsors decal" :angel:
What they wont do for a few thousands per lap !
