Thanks, I tried google, but didnt know what to type and couldnt find it.
It's called an Aero Splitter.

It's function is to provide down force to the front end of the car to improve the front grip. (forward bite)

Race teams do this, so they can run higher speeds into corners (without losing the front end), and it also keeps the car stable at maximum speed on the straightaways.
