Abstract: A clamp assembly is provided for securing a panel or fairing to an I-beam, and comprises a pair of side blocks and a clamping block, together with a single bolt to secure them in place. Each of the side blocks as an inclined wedge surface, and the T-shaped clamping block has similarly sloped wedge surfaces along the sides of the leg of the T. When a bolt this passed through side legs of the side blocks, and through or under the clamping block, a sliding and wedging action between the inclined and sloped wedge surfaces occurs. Moreover, a clamping action between the top surface of the clamping block and the lower surface of the lower flanges of the I-beam is also induced.

Abstract: Disclosed is a sealing assembly for forming an at least partial seal with a ground surface under a vehicle, the sealing assembly including: a frame; and a plurality of seal elements mounted adjacent to one another on the frame to form a sealing strip, wherein each of the seal elements is arranged to contact and slide along the ground surface; wherein the frame has a greater flexibility compared to each of the seal elements. By forming an at least partial seal with a ground surface under a vehicle, the sealing assembly may reduce air leakage into a low-pressure region formed by a downforce system, which may result in increased downforce produced by the downforce system. Such an increase in downforce may improve the vehicle's grip on the ground surface, which may improve its ability to travel around bends at high speed, as well as its ability to accelerate and decelerate.

Abstract: A system includes a primary control module, a stability status module, and a supervisory control module. The primary control module is configured to determine at least one control action for at least one of an electronic limited slip differential and an aerodynamic actuator of a vehicle based on a driver command. The stability status module is configured to determine whether at least one component of the vehicle is stable or unstable based on an input from a sensor on the vehicle. The at least one component includes at least one of a vehicle body, a front axle, a rear axle, front wheels, and rear wheels. The supervisory control module is configured to adjust the at least one control action when the at least one component is unstable.
