Full-scale on-track measurements showed that only 6% less down-force was being
generated than was predicted from the wind tunnel test programme, and validated the
experimental approach that was taken. Data collected from the car during the endurance
event at the 2006 Formula Student Germany competition showed that the aerodynamic
package was responsible for a significant increase in the performance of the vehicle under
braking and during cornering, while the increase in the drag force had only a minimal effect
on the top speed which was achieved during the event
