What is the highest downforce car that you've built?

[CBR JGWRR]

In the same vein as the fastest car thread.

Downforce - 1461 Front, 1574 Rear at 184 mph top speed. (kg)

And drag, since that's just as important:
Cd - 1.877 (yeah, really inefficient aero, I know)

That's insane, what kind of lap times does it have? My current fastest car is 58.34 seconds around the Top Gear track and 1:39.84 around the Automation track but it makes nowhere near that kinda downforce. (Cd - 0.981, Front Df 364.2lb @ 200mph, Rear Df 2493.7 @ 200mph)

1:41 something at the Automation track actually. (the suspension can't cope, the drag hugely limits speed despite 2200 bhp... It's a very poor design really - Edit - but it has very high downforce numbers, which is what I wanted, so...)

58.34 at Dunsfold is F1 car territory, so you're doing well.

What sort of power figures?

I'd estimate 1100-1200 bhp based on the Cd and speed.
