Long before wings and spoilers became established on formula cars at the end of the 1960s, the Auto Union experimented with downforce and ground effect. While in the 1930s, good aerodynamics were primarily intended to achieve a high top speed, engineers slowly began to focus on the benefits of air as a downforce and braking aid. This article tells the story of the pioneering years of the ground effect and shows lots of historical images.
