Improving F1 Aerodynamics Using AirShaper CFD Simulations - The Voyager-AirShaper F1 Challenge

Explore the first set of aerodynamic updates for the Voyager-AirShaper F1 car in this 13-minute video. Dive into the redesign process based on community input and AirShaper's expertise, supported by aerodynamic shape optimization. Learn about the improvements made to the front wing, including updated design, increased element spacing, and modified sideplates. Discover the changes to the strakes, such as reduced thickness and adjusted angles, resulting in stronger vortices and enhanced underfloor suction. Examine the addition of a bib for extra downforce and other modifications like updated barge boards and a different nose angle. Gain insights into the dramatic improvements in downforce and the pronounced low-pressure zones on various car components. Compare the original car and the updated aero package through provided simulation links, and explore additional resources for a deeper understanding of F1 aerodynamics and computational fluid dynamics.
