Ground effects are some of the most recognizable customizations that can be made to a high-performance vehicle. The distinctive lowered appearance of a vehicle with ground effects is part of its stylistic aesthetic, and lends to a change in the aerodynamics of the vehicle. By reducing the distance between the body of the vehicle and the ground, ground effects disrupt the flow of air around a fast-moving vehicle. This disruption prevents air from passing directly underneath the vehicle as easily. Without ground effects, fast-moving air flows directly underneath the vehicle, which then causes some degree of turbulence. The air traveling under the vehicle is moving faster than the rest of the atmospheric air, which results in turbulence and a lift effect. This lift effect reduces the contact of the wheels with the road, reducing some degree of control and traction on the road.
With ground effects in place, this lift effect is disrupted, allowing you to maintain good contact with the road even at higher speeds. This increase in handling will become readily apparent as you show off exactly what your high-performance custom vehicle can do now that it has ground effects.
