Balance Assessment
Note: Aero balance shifts handling at high speed. If the center of pressure is behind the center of gravity, the car becomes more stable (understeer) with speed. Adjustable wings and splitters allow tuning aero balance for different tracks.

Reference

Total Downforce = Front DF + Rear DF Front Balance % = Front DF / Total DF × 100 Center of Pressure = (Rear DF × Wheelbase) / Total DF Ideal front aero balance: 38-45% (matches weight dist) CoP should be near or behind Center of Gravity
