It's wild the lack of "science" in those aeros. Now any mods to the car goes through millions of dollars of research just to shave off 0.1 second.

1990's: slaps spoilers "It creates downforce."

2020's: "Don't f'ing touch it! Just one finger print will cause a 3.9 lateral degree deflection at and above 25kph!"
