Formero has been a partner of Monash Motorsport for many years, and are renowned for their high quality 3D Printing services. Our aerodynamic wing profiles require end caps for assembly of the carbon fiber skins and to transfer loading to the mounting structure. They have to be lightweight, yet stiff enough to pass deflection rules. As such, end caps are highly important components of our car that enable our aerodynamic package to be suitably attached to the vehicle.
Read MoreComputational Fluid Dynamics Workflow or ‘CFD’ Workflow is an integral element of the teams testing and simulation system. It allows the Dynamics department to compare results from past to current runs using graphs, tables, images and videos. Recently we have undergone a major upgrade to this workflow, making it fully automated.
Read MoreAero mapping is one of the methods we use to optimize our car’s performance across the lap. In addition to making aerodynamic design decisions, aero mapping also helps us tune our suspension parameters and determine optimal vehicle setup based around enhancing aero performance.
