What is the wing at the back of a racing car called?

[SanSkylar]

The wing at the back of a racing car is called a spoiler. For a long time, this design has been widely used in racing cars and was later adopted by ordinary vehicles as well. The design principle of the spoiler is inspired by the tail wing of an airplane. An airplane wing has a flat bottom and a convex top shape, which causes the airflow above the wing to move faster than below, resulting in higher pressure beneath the wing than above. This generates lift for the airplane. As the airplane accelerates on the runway, this lift increases until the aircraft takes off into the sky. For racing cars, the proper design of the spoiler directly affects the car's performance. It features a flat top and convex bottom structure, which is the opposite of an airplane wing. This design generates downforce when the car travels at high speeds, counteracting lift. Between the front wing and rear spoiler of a racing car, there is an angled design that helps the car navigate turns safely and quickly on the track while also managing wind resistance on straightaways.
