The Legacy of ‘Scavengers Reign’ Lives on Through Video Games

Set in the distant future, the animated sci-fi drama

Racing drivers will always want more grip, but the addition of aerodynamics to push cars down onto the track surface can fundamentally change the racing, and not always in a way that makes for an entertaining spectacle for the audience. That said, Formula E isn’t adding downforce to Gen 4 just because. Change is never easy "This was a hot topic. No mitigation: car performance, car perf
