Answer 3

1.) What is most important to achieve maximum performance from an Audi?
2.) Aerodynamics that reduce drag and increase down force.

3.) At over 200mph a car needs over 4000lbs of down force to keep the car from lifting.
   -Drag increases the air resistance a car has, inhibiting effective power the engine can put down.
   -A low center of gravity on the car keeps the air flow under the car moving smoothly, which pushes the car down. More down force makes turning easier.
