2024 Next Gen Car

once a car gets off the ground enough…no flappers are going to keep it down.

Once it gets off the ground enough, the underpan isn't going to make any difference either.

I don’t recall how flat they were prior to this gen, TBH I never paid much attention to it? I just remember this car having the entire underside flat/sealed, an old IMSA GTP car was my first thought upon seeing it.

Yes, its design sucks it to the pavement, so long as it’s going forward. The roof flaps work, work very well, we’ve all seen replays of cars heading for a flip and dropping back down because of them. That being said, once a car gets off the ground enough…no flappers are going to keep it down.

Yeah the flaps aren't 100%. A car that ramps off the hood of another is going to fly no matter what, but that doesn't mean they quit trying to make it harder to do so.
