7 Αυγ 2023 · Ground effect, a revolutionary aerodynamic concept, involves manipulating the airflow underneath a Formula 1 car to generate downforce. This downforce, which presses the car onto the track, enhances traction, stability, and overall performance, especially during high-speed cornering.
We are talking about an effect that partly explains why a racing car can take curves at breakneck speed without leaving the track. In this article, we'll tell you everything you need to know about the ground effect and how important and impactful it is in motorsport, particularly in Formula 1.
16 Μαρ 2023 · Ground Effects in F1 can be simply explained as the use of low pressure underneath a car to help push it down onto the track. This technology was first used in F1 racing between 1978 and 1982 and made its unexpected return in 2022.
The main mechanism for downforce on a Formula 1 car is ground-effect, with all surfaces affected by the car’s proximity to the ground. The way these important surfaces affect downforce is detailed below: Approximate distribution of aerodynamic downforce and drag for a modern F1 car.
23 Μαρ 2022 · Ground effect consists of reducing the space between the floor of an F1 car and the asphalt to create a low-pressure area under the car, thus increasing the speed with which the air circulates and creating a greater downforce, even higher than that generated by the wings.
6 Αυγ 2024 · The reintroduction of ground effect aerodynamics for the 2022 Formula 1 season significantly influenced the dynamics of racing. This section explores how these changes have affected overtaking, tire wear, and overall racing performance, along with feedback from drivers and teams.
13 Απρ 2024 · Did you know aerodynamics can add up to 5 times the weight of a F1 car in downwards force? Learn about how wing size and angles, 'ground effect' and aerodynamic efficiency create huge amounts cornering speed and grip making F1 cars faster and faster!
