⚛️🚀 Impressive science & engineering and the evolution of pit stop times in Formula 1 over the last decades 🏎️ F1 pitstop times require precise engineering and teamwork. Specialized equipment like pneumatic guns, lightweight jacks, and quick-release mechanisms allow rapid tire changes. Formula 1 crews must train rigorously to reach good speed and coordination. The design of the race cars support fast component swaps, while pit entry and exit are optimized for reduced time loss, which nowadays is below 2.5 seconds. #science #engineering #geology #design #creativity #innovation #construction #art 🎥 By Formula 1

We were delighted to support the University of Austin’s Longhorn Racing Team with our latest nanoDAQ-LTS-16 and quick start cable! Longhorn Racing had difficulties measuring quantitative data in the past – so, when we discovered the challenge they were facing, we were excited to provide the technology needed to help them drive forward their Formula SAE vehicle design. With the help of our pressure scanner equipment, Longhorn Racing’s aerodynamics team can gather better and more precise air pressure data across the front wing, rear wing, sidepods and floor.

Our #Bell70 series brings us back to the 1990s, a time when aerodynamics became a crucial factor in helmet design for single-seater categories such as Indy Car and Formula 1. As speeds became higher and higher, Bell led the way by introducing advanced solutions and new designs to maximize driver performance. Read Episode 6 on our website. 6️⃣ https://lnkd.in/dRuAfJZ4

🚘Ever wondered how rally cars stay glued to the ground while sliding sideways? Wrapping up our two-part rally car aerodynamics series, we're diving deep into the science behind rear wing design. Using Bramble CFD, we've achieved an 86-count increase in downforce through innovative profile optimization and flow management. From high-cambered airfoils to curved undertrays, discover how CFD is revolutionizing rally car performance. Check out Part 2 of our series: https://lnkd.in/enSQ-MeZ Missed Part 1?

🏎️ Driving Fair Play in the Supercars Championship   When the Supercars Championship needed a solution to maintain technical parity and keep racing exciting, we stepped up with cutting-edge aerodynamic analysis and on-track innovation.   Using advanced CFD simulations, we analysed every aspect of vehicle setup, predicting performance before the cars hit the track. This accuracy allowed us to reduce the Vehicle Control Aerodynamic Testing (VCAT) process significantly saving time and costs for all teams.   We also introduced our very first D2H in-house developed active ride-height control system, ensuring absolute uniformity during testing. Combined with on-track data capture coupled with an in-house developed aero data analysis tool ensuring transparency across teams, our process eliminated undue advantages and ensured the competition stayed fair.   The result? A level playing field, more thrilling races, and a better experience for teams, drivers, and fans alike.   📉 Reduced testing from 10 days to just 3 ⚙️ Advanced CFD simulations + on-track validation 🎉 Closer, more unpredictable racing   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eQySiG9C   #ActiveRideHeightSystem #CFD #InnovationInRacing #Aerodynamics #MotorsportEngineering

🌬️ 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? Let us know your thoughts! 🔗 Enroll Now in Our Aerodynamics Course (https://lnkd.in/d5tvFpex) 🎥 Want to see how aerodynamics shapes a Formula 1 car in action? Watch our breakdown here!

As far as I am aware, the slipperiest performance car ever made (Cd = 0.183) that also had downforce - at 403 km/h, front downforce was 300kg (660lb) and at the back, 50kg (110lb). Read about the amazing Mercedes CIII-IV (and the previous CIII cars) in my book on the history of car aerodynamics.

just for fun This is a very wrong test of speed to finish technically Aerodynamics (aesthetics) and torque (inertia) are the major determinant in an engine, not your regular F1 speed winner, will likely finish first here. In lay man’s term The fastest might obviously be the smallest and less heaviest of them all not even the plane, these are due to shape and starting speed of the vehicle. #Tde_Enterprise
