To achieve optimum cornering and straight line performance the suspension characteristics are often tuned to the aerodynamic forces in order to reduce the pitch and hence the drag of the vehicle at high speeds whilst retaining relatively high downforce when cornering. This is a consequence of the low ground clearances that must be adopted to maximise the benefits that can be gained from ground effect and of the very large floor plan area of these cars. The current generation of sports racing cars such as those competing under the Le Mans "LM"P and "LM"GTP regulations are particularly sensitive to the pitch of the vehicle.
