What are the units of 'base' lift and drag? Is it N\km or something else?
Thank you

Lift and drag are forces = N. But the lift and drag 'base' is a coefficient (Cd or Cl) that means without unit.
Force = airdesity/2 * (m/s)^2 * referenc area * Cd or Cl
So for example if you double the number in BodyDragBase, you get twice the drag.
Use the analyser from carFactory - Kangaloosh to see what forces the car get.

... so from those 2 references, your body base drag figure should be multiplied by your velocity squared to arrive at a force in Newtons.
All rFactor units are SI, so velocity is metres/second. (km/h divided by 3.6)
