Why do sports cars want low weight but high down force? It seems contradictory
In: Engineering
The lighter the car, the less energy required to move it. This means you can get more speed out of the same engine if your car is lighter. High down force just means that the car is pressed against the ground, which both prevents the car from flying off the ground due to wind at high speed, but also gives the wheels better traction, which gives the driver more control over the car.
