The McMurtry Spéirling has driven upside down
I don't have a head for analytics, or math, or physics. But Engineering Explained has drawn up some figures describing downforce with the Spéirling , the Viper Extreme and a FE single seater that I think '12 year old me' might have found compelling enough to try a lot harder in math class in order to grasp the concepts - because I WANT to grasp these concepts, but I don't have the skills or cognitive apparatus required to do more that appreciate what all the engineers involved with aero, vis-a-vis racing, are doing with downforce. The shots of two Spéirlings racing is almost like an AI movie!
