The remarkable cornering power of the modern Formula 1 Grand Prix car is almost entirely due to its aerodynamic characteristics. As aerodynamic research generates much more data than can be track tested, it has been found necessary to develop an analytical model to investigate the effect of downforce, drag and centre of pressure on lap times round a sample circuit thus sifting the experimental results.

    This paper presents such an analysis and applies it to an investigation of the performance of a Formula 1 car round a typical circuit.
