So far, in the series of articles, we discussed the fundamentals of a fast race car from the aerodynamics perspective and the various methods used to predict and develop its performance. This article will discuss how the race car's aerodynamic performance on the track...

Many racing car systems require some thermal management. The two most commonly discussed are the power unit and brakes; however, many other smaller sub-components can also require some level of intervention. Those include electronic circuits, hydraulic lines and even...

The last three articles discussed how wind tunnels and CFD are used as the main predictive tools for aerodynamic performance in motorsport. In today's article, we will discuss the growing role of data-driven methodologies in this process. Data-driven processes have...

In the last two articles, we introduced wind tunnels and CFD as predictive tools used in motorsport. In this article, we will go deeper into the discussion about their strengths and limitations and their role in aerodynamic development. In the first decade of this...

In the last week's article, we discussed predictive tools used for aerodynamic development. This week we will talk about CFD applied to motorsport aerodynamics. CFD stands for Computational Fluid Dynamics; it is vastly used in motorsport to support the evaluation of...

Following on from several articles discussing the various elements affecting the aerodynamic performance of a race car, we will now discuss predictive tools used for aerodynamic development, starting with Wind Tunnel. Wind tunnels have been used for several decades as...
