Side drafting is a crafty aerodynamic maneuver most commonly seen in NASCAR-style racing. A trailing car pulls halfway alongside a leading car’s rear quarter panel, deliberately disrupting the airflow around its opponent. This creates turbulent “dirty air” that hits the lead car’s spoiler or wheels, slowing it down — while the trailing car slips through with slightly less drag, gaining a speed advantage. It’s a nuanced game of momentum and air pressure manipulation at speeds often surpassing 150
