'Porpoising' is a high-frequency bouncing motion seen on cars at high speed. It's caused by the ground effect aerodynamics stalling and re-attaching rapidly as the car's floor gets too close to the track surface.

What does the term 'porpoising' refer to in the context of F1 aerodynamics, particularly prominent in 2022?

Post your machine art, be it mecha, jets, cars etc.
Greyish looking robot quadruped, with additional manipulators and prehensile tail. Mech on standby, holding a gun. Cockpit on the back is opened up and the pilot is enjoying a cup of something. Various spaceships from sideview. Battlemap with three groundeffect craft speeding over unknown seas, one big carrier with a flight deck and two escorts.

Here we have a 1976 McDonnell Douglas "hybrid seaplane concept", a wing-in-groundeffect (WIG) vehicle that looks pretty similar to the Soviet Projekt 903 Lun-class Ekranoplan.

Also axiomatic: all particles sized < 5000 nanometres float; due to barrier layer of air causing groundeffect preventing normal surface gravitational deposition.

Virus sized 35nm-480nm, so why there was ever a debate as to whether it was airborne or not a mystery.

Should have asked the chip biz.

There's a mod for the Online rev. to restore the Opels and make the online progress cars buyable

The Groundeffect A.K.I.O. from the Holiday Drive demo and other cut cars are here too.

Most interestingly this would've been the first game with a licensed Veyron, five years before ProStreet's DLC!

Het schrappen van de chicane en de introductie van de groundeffect wagens hebben de #SpanishGP omgetoverd van één van de saaiste races van de kalender, naar een best boeiende race!

Daar hadden we zelfs geen laattijdige safety car en kwade Verstappen voor nodig…

The XRB 114 is a remarkable ground-effect vehicle designed in Germany during the 1970s. Utilizing the ground effect, it glides just above the water’s surface, combining speed and efficiency.A true marvel of engineering! 🌊✈️
