The control surfaces, acting independently or together with a variable angle of attack of up to 20 degrees (front) and 40 degrees (rear), move the car's center of aerodynamic balance around to compensate for the forces of pitch, roll, yaw and high-speed lift.
Working upwards from this you'll find a small effects section (transform, flanger, echo and roll), an auto-loop control and some more detailed pitch control settings.
Bigger ships also tend to pitch and roll less in heavy seas, and they can cross the Drake Passage - which separates South America from Antarctica and can sometimes be very rough - much more quickly.
Samaras' shot from the edge of the area was mis-read by Sogahata on the bumpy pitch and the Japanese goalkeeper allowed the ball to roll past him in embarrassing fashion.
