Effects of Front Splitter

Air hitting the front of the car goes up and over, through the engine bay, and down and under the car. The splitter blocks that air from turning downward — that downward moving air hitting the splitter helps add downward force to the front of the car, reducing front end lift and increasing front end traction, and results in less air going under the car, which helps with downforce as well. The fact that the splitter extends back almost 3 feet resulting in a smooth front undercarriage also helps with the downforce equation (notice that almost all professional high-speed race cars have an underbody that is as smooth as possible and many even run front splitters).
