Built for 20 metres
Every gram, millimetre and surface on the car has one job: to cover the track faster. This is how we engineer it.
The car from four angles
[Car name] · [Season] race car
From sketch to start line
Six stages, repeated for every iteration of the car.
-
01
Regulations
Every design starts from the technical regulations: dimensions, mass, wheels and the cartridge chamber.
-
02
Concept
Sketches and quick studies explore how the body could manage the air around it.
-
03
CAD
The car is modelled in 3D, ready for simulation, drawings and machining.
-
04
Simulation
Computational fluid dynamics compares designs before any material is cut.
-
05
Manufacture
The body is machined, finished and assembled with wheels, axles and tether line guides.
-
06
Test
Track runs and measurements show what works. The results feed the next iteration.
