After discussing the elementary theory concerning aerodynamics, the boundary layer, drag, downforce, air density and gurney flaps are being explained. With the aid of explanatory calculations the influence of wing settings and undertrays are made clear. Also the influence of vortex generators and golf ball profiles on wings is shown. Furthermore the optimum aero balance is found, and an assessment is given of finding the drag and downforce values from (existing race) data, resulting in enlightening aero-maps and graphics. Finally an example of CFD simulation on a formula car is shown.
