Complete with the correct sentence: "For an aerodynamically stable vehicle...

• ... the center of gravity must be behind the center of pressures"

• ... the center of gravity must be ahead of the center of pressures"

• ... the center of gravity must coincide with the center of pressures

Complete with the correct sentence: "In an AeroMap...

• ... lift, drag and aerodynamic balance are assessed as a function of vehicle configuration, such as front and rear ground clearance or rear wing angle"

• ... lap times are measured as a function of the ground clearance of the front and rear axle"

• ... the pitch due to roll during acceleration or braking is observed"

What is the main purpose of post-rig analysis on racing vehicles?

• To evaluate tyre wear

• To check engine performance

• To analyse the response of the chassis and suspension to simulated loads

• To measure the efficiency of the braking system

What is the main purpose of a restrictor in a combustion engine?

• To increase engine power and to improve fuel efficiency

• Reduce the weight of the vehicle and enhance car performance

• To reduce air flow to the engine and limit vehicle performance

• To reduce fuel consumption and reduce exhaust emissions

Which strategy is often used in Formula 1 car cooling to improve aerodynamic efficiency?

• Maximise the size of the radiators to ensure better cooling

• Use cold air to increase the downforce produced by the ground effect

• Reduce cooling capacity as much as possible to minimise drag

• Positioning the radiators low and the cooling ducts strategically
