My cousin said that if a racecar is going fast (like 150-200 mph), and it doesn‘t have a spoiler, it will lift off the ground. However, I‘m still skeptical. Do racecars really fly without spoilers, or do the drivers just lose control over the car and crash because they don‘t have the beneficial traction a spoiler provides?
No its true, the cars can lift up off the ground if there isn't enough downforce pushing the car down.
I don't think it will actually fly, but wheels may lift off the ground with the slightest bumps causing the car to be nearly impossible to control.
it wouldn't fly but what would happen the car could hit a bump or somehow get whatever part of the car thats facing forward to lift off the ground, like in a wreck, and the air will get up under the car and lift it off the ground, happens sometimes in nascar, even with spoilers a race car could do that, nascars actually have 2 flaps on the roof that flip up if it starts to slide sideways or backwards and those will keep the car down, but sometimes ina wreck the door flaps won't help and still gets launched in the air, but something has to happen to the car to get lifted off the ground for a short period of time, it couldn't just be going straight and suddenly start to lift off the ground
