Usage: technical; automotive

Examples

• The race car's wing generates significant downforces to keep it stable during high-speed turns.
• Engineers adjusted the spoiler to increase downforces on the vehicle.
• Modern sports cars rely on downforces to maintain grip on the track.
• The downforces produced by the aerodynamic design improved the car's cornering ability.
• At 200 mph, the downforces from the body kit were essential for safety.
