If a car were cornering at 1.0 g: a figure that very few production cars are able to approach: the driver's body would be pushing equally hard against the side of the seat as against the bottom of it. gearset: a group of two or more gears used to transmit power. greenhouse: the portion of a car's body that rises above the beltline of the car. ground effect: the phenomenon that occurs when the airflow between a moving object and the ground creates downforce. |
