This research used CFD softwares to simulate the downforce generated with the airfoil set to different height, and also analyzed the difference on the downforce when the airfoil is set on the racing car. Several pairs of front wing (FW) and rear wing (RW) of different ground clearances were chosen during the wind tunnel experiment and the results were compared with those of the numerical simulations. With the results of the simulations as well as the experiment, an appropriate solution of the ground clearances of the FW and RW for different kinds of race is provided.
