	As a car passes though the air, an area of high pressure builds up along its relatively flat leading surfaces (think of the force which pushes on your hand if you hold it out of the car window). Usually this air flows either under the car or around and over the bodywork. A splitter taps this area of high pressure by providing an additional surface for it to act on. As well as pushing back on the front of the car, the high pressure pushes down on the top surface of the splitter creating downforce.

	~~Race cars use '''~~front ~~splitters''' to keep~~ the airflow at the front of the car ~~directed~~ the ~~way it should go. The~~ air ~~above~~ the ~~lower lip is intended to go through~~ the ~~intercooler and radiator~~. ~~Below that, it should go~~ under the car. ~~Without the~~ splitter~~, some air will tend~~ to ~~spill over around~~ the ~~lower lip~~, ~~which lessens cooling efficiency and increases lift. With~~ the splitter ~~in place, cooling is improved and lift is decreased. [http://www.machevo.com/cafifrsp~~.~~html]~~		In its most basic form a splitter is a horizontal extension of the lower front edge of the car protruding forwards into the airflow. Although this looks simple, it is a very efficient way to generate downforce at the front of the car.
