Aerodynamics
The Aerodynamics module has the task of developing and testing the car’s aero package, which aims to improve the overall car’s balance by manipulating the airflow around the car using many aerodynamic components such as the front, rear, and side wings and the underbody paneling. Sophisticated and industry-leading 3D CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations (together with structural FEM simulations) are used in the development phase to optimize our designs and extensive testing is performed to increase efficiency and reduce the mass of the finished aero package.
