    AERO LOOSE ---

    This condition affects the racecar when it is in the cornering process.

    When a racecar makes a close inside pass on another car while maneuvering through a corner, the air gets taken off of its spoiler when the spoiler comes up beside the outside car’s greenhouse, or roof area.

    This causes the rear of the car to lose grip on the track.

    This condition also occurs on straight stretches when a car gets close on the rear bumper of the car in front of him.

    The rear car pushes air under the lead car, causing the air above the lead car's rear spoiler to rise, taking away the downforce holding the rear tires to the track.

    When following another vehicle really close, the airflow off of the lead vehicle does not travel across the following vehicle normally.

    The air goes over the top and downward force on the front is lessened resulting in the failure to turn corners normally.


    The front of the car tends to head or "push" up the banking toward the outside wall resulting in an "aero push."

    This condition is more apparent on the exit of the turns.

    The only way to compensate for this is to slow the car down.

    Shorts- (a) you must finish the bucket of wings before the end of the race (b) yes you can get a bucket of wings BUT (c) if you do, you must wear it on your head during the race after you're done......only exception is if you are rolling a used tire out of the pits at the end of the race and telling someone on your cellphone how cool you are because you snagged a used tire from sombody's pits. Then you are a big enough tool and don't need the superbucket on your head, too.
