Disclosed is a sealing assembly for forming an at least partial seal with a ground surface under a vehicle, the sealing assembly including: a frame; and a plurality of seal elements mounted adjacent to one another on the frame to form a sealing strip, wherein each of the seal elements is arranged to contact and slide along the ground surface; wherein the frame has a greater flexibility compared to each of the seal elements. By forming an at least partial seal with a ground surface under a vehicle, the sealing assembly may reduce air leakage into a low-pressure region formed by a downforce system, which may result in increased downforce produced by the downforce system. Such an increase in downforce may improve the vehicle's grip on the ground surface, which may improve its ability to travel around bends at high speed, as well as its ability to accelerate and decelerate.
