New article study from March of this year showing that diffusers add drag slightly, but definitely increase downforce
Yet the Mercedes eqxx says their diffuser lowers drag
So confusing!!! No doughy across the board that diffusers increase downforce, but now I’m seeing mixed things about lowering drag. I don’t care about extra downforce. I’m not taking mountain turns at 90 miles per hour or drag racing!

On page-22 they comment:
' for angles lower than 8-degrees the improvement in aerodynamic drag can reach up to 2.5%.'
