For a typical FSAE vehicle, low center of gravity, low weight and low moment of inertia are the primary targets while designing and manufacturing the vehicle. Hence these cars are manufactured in a very low weight range ranging from 160kg to 240 kg. Owing to the large power to weight ratios achieved by the above mentioned goals, the vehicles tend to move at the higher speed than desired but the aerodynamic force exerts a jacking force in the opposite direction of the motion called the aerodynamic lift due to which the tyres of the moving vehicle tend to lose the grip on the track and slip off the track. So this paper focuses on the design of the aerodynamic device like an undertray to develop the force opposing the aerodynamic lift so that the traction of the tyres is not lost and proper tyre road interaction is obtained.
