Do skirting really help down force the car

[rollakid]

Short version. No, not unless your skirt actually touches the ground.

Long version. Google for Lotus and skirt and aerodynamic.

hehehehe.. saw this one before, skyline GTR's track skirt is scratching against the ground when the car corner or the road surface uneven, making krook krook krook~ sound all over, if me sure sakit hati lor..

@AE80TypeD: About the GT-NSX, is it this link you're referring to?
http://asia.vtec.net/beystock/honda/nsxgt2000/index.html

yes, thats the one. thanks for posting it up. read the first chapter; Turn the NSX upside down or something. it doesnt explain the 'skirts', but u will get an idea of what ppl want to achieve with downforce in the first place.
