1. A method, comprising:

  • determining, via a controller, an expected downforce acting on an aerodynamic element of a vehicle based, at least in part, on a position of the aerodynamic element relative to a vehicle body of the vehicle;

    determining, via the controller, a measured downforce acting on the aerodynamic element based, at least in part, on a signal received from at least one force sensor;

    determining a deviation, via the controller, based, at least in part, on the expected downforce and the measured downforce; and

    controlling, via the controller, the aerodynamic element based, at least in part, on the deviation.
