Automotive aerodynamics is the study of the aerodynamics of road vehicles. Its main goals are reducing drag and wind noise, minimizing noise emission, and preventing undesired lift forces and other causes of aerodynamic instability at high speeds. Air is also considered a fluid in this case. For some classes of racing vehicles, it may also be important to produce downforce to improve traction and thus cornering abilities.Â

This shows the starting body dimensions to the finished complete body
Axle on top is for the rear while the bottom is for the nose of the car
The Washer goes in between both wheels on each axil and the wheels are pinching the washer to the body of the car
