An aerodynamics control system for a vehicle may include a repositionable aerodynamic device disposed at a portion of the vehicle, a controller operably coupled to components or sensors of the vehicle to receive information including vehicle performance data and position information for the aerodynamic device, and a vehicle location sensor determining location information for the vehicle. The controller stores the vehicle performance data and the position information in association with the location information for each of a plurality of locations. Responsive to detecting an approach of the vehicle to one of the locations, the controller provides a control instruction to position the aerodynamic device based on recorded vehicle performance data and recorded position information associated with the one of the locations.
