A wing generates
Downforce
The static vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle.
Camber Angle
Material used for the body panels
Ceconite/aircraft fabric
This component allows the wheels the spin at two different speeds while cornering
The differential
The previous year's car name

The carbon lay up process are we trying to switch to
resin-infusion
In high performance auto racing like Formula SAE, this rubber component acts as the first part of the suspension system because it flexes to absorb small bumps before springs ever move.
Tire
It insulates the driver from the heat of the engine bay and also acts as a seal to keep fluids out the cockpit.

Eppler 432
The type of weight not supported by the vehicles springs. It includes the wheels, tires, brakes, hubs, uprights and control arms. Teams work relentlessly to minimize this specific weight.
Unsprung mass
The distribution of braking force between the front and rear brakes, typically shown as a percentage.
Brake bias
