Introduction

Aerodynamic effect is mainly used to improve mechanic grip between tyre and asphalt with favourable effects for acceleration and the miles covered speed when cornering. In the second half of the 60's the concept spreading among Formula One designers, changed the terms of the aerodynamic research works carried out till that time: firstly they researched penetration above all, often grappling with aerodynamic lift phenomenon that lifted the single-seater at high speed. Then, they passed to the opposite concept, searching a drag able to force the single-seater downward and it's for that reason that still today Formula One has a coefficient ...
