Given the goals of minimizing drag and maximizing downforce, If this was your car to develop how would you proceed?

Just my .02 cents.
A front air dam will have a
large effect on the reduction of lift, with a
minimum increase in drag.
If there are no rules on the size of a air dam, I would make it as large and low as possible.(maximum effect)
Road races are usually won by whoever is the fastest going in, through and out of a turn. A large air dam will help that happen.
But then again, a air dam is but one tool in a bag of tools.
I never heard of ChumpCar Racing before. It looks like my kind of racing.
(cheap & fun)
In case no one else is familiar.
I see that the series will be in my neck of the woods this weekend coming. I might have to go.

I've been around that track a few times but it was on two wheels.
