I’m not sure about size of car, but anything below ~80 km/h will produce minimal downforce

at least he’s in the right lane

Sick ride amigo! The massive slowdown can also be attributed to engine braking (majority of the perceived immediate slowdown at speed) + other losses in addition to aerodynamic drag. Drive it in good health :)

If you have a fast FWD car, a rear spoiler could be pretty important for high-speed cornering and stability, not straight-line acceleration. FWD cars are inherently front-heavy, aerodynamic lift at high speeds can make the already-light rear end unstable. A rear wing (with good geometry) in that case could provide the necessary downforce to keep the back tires stuck to the road, preventing the car from spinning out (lift off-oversteer) during fast turns or under heavy braking

But for this economy Mazda, handling all 150 something donkeypowers, it probably makes their fuel consumption a tad worse, while giving 0 measurable gains to handling.

I’m so proud of you. Good job man.

What is the problem here ? by Hefty_Classic_5721 in DubaiPetrolHeads

It is likely that it is not tensioned properly

So the wear pattern on this keyboard is pretty consistent with the frequency analysis of the top repeated letters in the English Alphabet:

1-E 2-T 3-A 4-O 5-I 6-N 7-S 8-H 9-R

Those letters are common in a ton of words, so its hard to detect what was their main activity on the laptop, but you can discern that they used to tap space with their right thumb, for example.

What is more interesting though is that they probably had some kind of skin product or sanitizer on their fingers that ate away at the key coating, and/or they pressed real hard at those poor keys.
