Downforce is critical for traction and performance in modern race cars and here's some quick insight into how it is being managed by some vehicles built for the likes of Pikes Peak using the Hoonipigasus as an example.
Pikes Peak Hill Climb is unique as although it is completely sealed, the top section of the hill has a climate which sees the road deteriorate quickly leaving it very bumpy and wanting to rip the bottom end out from under a lowered vehicle.
This gives the extra challenge previous record setters didn't have of worse road conditions to contend with in the quest to make it to the top faster than ever with one of the solutions being geofenced adjustable ride height that will change the height of the car according to it's location, as quickly discussed in this wee [TECH NUGGET].
