Its reputation has been defined by its amazing speed and handling characteristics, which are for the most part, a product of its aerodynamic features. The success of these features relies primarily on the appropriate and efficient harnessing of drag and downforce - both of which are ruled by physical principles explained by Bernoulli's equation. 1.1 Bernoulli's Equation Investigated in the...
