In modern racing, aerodynamics dictate cornering speeds. The text explores how front and rear wings, diffusers, and venturi tunnels generate downforce to increase tire grip without adding mass. Crucially, Milliken explains the concept of aerodynamic balance (aerodynamic center of pressure) and how it must shift in harmony with the mechanical balance of the chassis during braking, cornering, and acceleration. 3.
