🚀 Aerodynamics in Racing: How Much Faster Can We Go? 🚀 Aerodynamics has always been a game-changer in motorsport, where science meets speed. Every curve, wing, and surface of a race car is meticulously designed to reduce drag and increase downforce. A slight adjustment in the aerodynamics setup can shave milliseconds off lap times – often the difference between victory and falling behind the competition. Today, teams are using advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations and wind tunnel testing to push performance further than ever before. But here’s the big question: 💡 Is there a limit to how much we can improve aerodynamics, or will advancing technology continue to surprise us? Could new materials or AI-driven designs revolutionise the aerodynamics of race cars even more? For those specialising in Aerodynamics or CFD, this is an exciting time to be in motorsport. With cutting-edge projects across F1, WEC, and other racing series, we’re shaping the future of speed. Interested in being part of the next era of motorsport?

What’s really going on with F1’s active aero plans? Under the new 2026 technical regulations, Formula 1 teams are looking to use active aerodynamics to make up for the downforce lost when behind another car. Testing this with simulations, Formula 1 confirmed that active aero will require both front and rear wing adjustments to achieve optimum aerodynamic balance. With Chell’s involvement in wind tunnel testing of aerodynamics, we will be keeping a close eye on how these plans develop! Read more: https://lnkd.in/dEP4HXB7 #F1 #ActiveAerodynamics #Engineering

🌬️ Mastering Aerodynamics in Formula 1: The Key to Performance 🏎️💨 Did you know that in Formula 1, aerodynamics accounts for up to 80% of a car's performance? From wings to diffusers, the air around the car is meticulously shaped to create downforce, helping it stick to the track at blistering speeds. A well-designed wing doesn't just make a car faster in a straight line—it dramatically enhances cornering ability by optimizing the car’s grip through turns. 💡 How do you think the perfect aerodynamic setup could impact race performance?

Cars don't race on their own. We all know it, but how much time is spent in the wind tunnel, or CFD with a car on it's own, in clean air conditions? There's lots to learn and understand from studies like this, and it helped Supercars understand the behaviour of the cars in traffic and for overtaking / drafting.
