We in the aerodynamics subteam deal with the air flow around our racing cars. In the development phase, we start by simulating the concepts we have in mind. There are no limits to our creativity here. Essentially, we have two tasks: 

1. Generating downforce, which increases driving stability.

2. The reduction of air resistance 

 

What is the aerodynamics subteam responsible for?

​

• Development of all components that generate downforce

• Creation of CFD simulations

• Creation of FEM simulations

• Testing new manufacturing processes for CFRP

• Testing of new CFRP materials

• Development of all tools and moulds required for production

• Creating vehicle setups that are ideally adapted to the disciplines

​

What does working in the aerodynamics team offer you?

​

• Strong team spirit

  • Aero package only works if all parts harmonise with each other

  • Joint analysis of CFD results to drive development forward as a team

  • Production takes place together as a team

• Understanding flows

  • What is a vortex and how does it work?

  • How do different components interact with each other?

  • How do different geometries influence which flows?

• Manufacturing knowledge in the field of CFRP and 3D printing

• Knowledge of CAD, FEM and CFD simulation
