Over the last three articles, we discussed race car pure performance in terms of how drag, downforce and cornering sensitivities affect its performance. In today’s article, we will discuss one less advertised aspect which hugely affects performance – the...

In the last article, we discussed in basic terms how downforce and drag will affect the race car performance within the grip-limited and power-limited sectors. In this article, we will go into more detail about the aerodynamic performance, particularly downforce,...

Aerodynamic engineers will often use the expression “more downforce, less drag” to summarise their goal when developing a component for a race car. While this is certainly a good starting point, there are many other parameters and trade-offs to be considered and those...

The aerodynamic development of road and racing cars is typically carried out through a combination of computational simulations, experimental tests in wind tunnels and road/track testing of the actual vehicle or a full-scale prototype. Each of these development...

Our aerodynamics engineers have extensive experience in aerodynamic and fluid dynamics applications, including Formula 1, America’s Cup, high-end automotive companies, and many others. Perhaps more important than our experience is our dedication to our work, we take...
