What makes lotus so planted on high speed eventhough got very light kerb weight?. I read it is so low as low as go kart car and got downforce?. What is the downforce here?. Normal car dont have downforce?

Lotus generally is planted in cornering, may or may not be planted in high speed straight line as some other cars designed for high speeds (say maybe the Civic type R with it's ricer looking amount of aero parts)

Dares mentioned (low) center of gravity then there's suspensions, and everything of that working together.

Down force essentially is weight.
Wind pushing down on the car, creates additional "weight"
Pros and cons, and not accounting for badly applied aero causing them to act as sails instead of providing down force.

Then there's air drag, slowing your car/increasing fuel consumption.

Very complex stuffs laugh.gif

IMO, for low power cars like Persona and Vios that is used for daily driving, aero kits has more cons than pros.

They can't often go fast enough that aero can generate enough downforce, so 90% of the time they are just generating additional drag. For these cars better to focus on improving mechanical grip than aero grip.

Deswai I laugh at those Bezzas with giant GT wings. Maybe if they go fast enough their buntut will become less tonggek as the wind pushes it down.  tongue.gif

That's why I'm never bothered about Aero lol
Too slow to utilize laugh.gif
