Just for reference, they measured a Golf GTI @ 1/30 kg F/R, a Mini JCW even at 16/21kg
(values rounded so I don't get into any kind of trouble)
Am I the only one who finds this weird? Even though I can, unfortunately, not provide cw values for a/m cars I can only suspect them to be significantly higher as both are so increadibly bulky.
Apart from making them ugly imho, that would of course create some nice downforce on the wheels.
I really wanna tackle this issue somehow... How does one call those aero fins one may drill to the side of the front bumper?
The lift would probably manifest in the hood budging and likely worsen the effect

I think then the best method of reducing front end lift would be to get a vented hood....like the one I seen on this thread. The front end is pretty closed off but I would hazard a guess that the airflow through the radiator at speed, is the cause of lift.
