    Anyone know if this formula is correct thinking from my side. This is the only logical way I could interpret "Half/1st/2nd"

    DiffuserBasePlus=(-0.420, 0.4, 0.05, 0.1)
    Dynamic rear ride height is 0.3 for my example

    F=(-0.420 + 0.4*0.3^1/2 + 0.05*0.3 + 0.1*0.3^2)*v^2



    Another thing. I find this a bit puzzling in the FR35 HDV

    DiffuserStall=(1.00,-0.15) // Function to compute stall ride height (0.0=minimum, 1.0=average), downforce lost when bottoming out (0.0=none, 1.0=complete stall)

    Are the neg number here absolute cL value instead of %? E.i. you lose -0.15*v^2 N of downforce at stall and it's computed at average ride height only.

    You are correct in your assumption.

    However, this is actually a fraction of the diffusers total downforce.
