For sake of simplicity, we will ignore these actions in our brief overview.Also, it is worth mentioning that not every car produces downforce. Still, it is also one of the areas influencing car performance the most, together with tyres and powertrain.

In fact, if the available tyre force is bigger, the achievable lateral/longitudinal acceleration will also get bigger, in accordance to Newton’s second law:In plain English, since we can assume car’s mass doesn’t change, this means the driver can negotiate a corner at a higher speed, brake harder and later approaching a turn or go easier on the throttle exiting a bend.

What I mean is that I think Peugeot Sport team had always had wrong approach to endurance racing. Which level of performance could we expect for 2018 privateer LMP1 cars?To try to answer, I started a small project, building a “LMP1-like” vehicle model, using a validated WEC-Spec 2017 LMP2 one as a base and running some Driver-in-the-Loop simulator sessions on some of WEC Superseason tracks, including Le Mans. I really hope our expectations will be fulfilled! Private entered vehicles will have more freedom in terms of aerodynamics, with different rules regarding for example the design of front splitter and rear diffuser; moreover, LMP1 non-hybrid cars will have a minimum weight of 833 kg (3 kg of which reserved for the on board camera system), while hybrid cars will stay at 878 (again, 3 kg of which reserved for the on board camera). I guess that some times bad things(porsche exit) can create better ones.

The speed we will have to consider is the relative velocity of the car with respect to the air) by using a single vector, with a generic direction and magnitude. How easy would it be to make a F1 car from a LMP1 car or the other way round.

We can call the resultant action on the car.As we have already seen during our tyres overview, we can decompose a force vector like F into two components, a horizontal one, and a vertical one:The magnitude of these forces is a result of many factors and is strictly related to car design; in general, they depend on the square of car’s relative velocity with respect to the air. Although the working principles of each aerodynamic part of a racecar is nowadays more or less known, the interactions between different areas are extremely intricate.

Racing touring cars normally produce nearly no downforce or even small amount of lift. In terms of strategy, car design etc. The ByKolles LMP1 team has described its showing in last weekend's Spa round of the FIA World Endurance Championship as its 'best ever performance'. As we will see later on, more downforce means that the car will have the ability to negotiate corners faster, with its effects getting more and more relevant as car’s speed (relative to the air) grows (which means, corners radii gets bigger).Less drag means higher straight-line speed and better fuel economy because the force acting against car forward movement will be weaker and the car will be able to advance more easily.If the car does not travel on a straight line, it will also experience side forces, because it will move forward with an angle (often referred as yaw angle) with respect to the air (something similar to tyres slip angle, but considered for the whole car).
