AERODYNAMIC DRAG

A number that is a coefficient of several factors that indicates how well a race car will travel through the air. In other words how streamlined is the race car. The idea is to get the car to go through the air as slick as it can but at the same time not to loose too much downforce. A car has to have a certain amount of downforce to get through the corners. Too much drag and it slows the car down…too little and it won't turn.
