Frontal Cd
and Side Cd
(Cd = coefficient of drag) fields. Data for different vehicles is available here.Downforce is calculated in a simplified fashion by applying downforce to a number of points over the vehicle. In the simplest form a single downforce point at the center of the vehicle can be used, or one point at the front and one point at the end of the vehicle.
Downforce Point
s should be below the WheelController
position, or even as low as the floor of the vehicle. This is because all the force is applied in a single point which, if applied too high, can cause the vehicle to snap oversteer when changing direction.Downforce Points

at which it reaches Max Force
value.
