The term porpoising is given to the repetitive rise and fall, or bouncing, of the car, usually on the faster sections of the track.
A technical challenge of ground effect cars was reintroduced in the 2022 regulations revamp. In simple terms, aerodynamics work such that they create a suction effect onto the track. The car is pulled down onto the track until it touches, breaking the suction and releasing the car to pop back up, only for the suction to pull it down. The pattern is repeated in a quick fashion causing the cars to bounce.
