Estimating F1 Aero Coefficients with Lap Simulation
F1 aero data is always a hot topic for speculation, and while only the teams will know the real answer, I decided to take a crack at estimating F1 aero coefficients from the bit of public data that we have available. In order to do this I used my custom MATLAB lap time simulation (LTS)…
Aerodynamic Studies of a 2022 F1 Car
In a couple of months the 2022 Formula 1 season will get underway with probably the largest single change to the aerodynamic regulations in its history. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do some aero investigations of my own, so today I want to share my concept of a 2022 car before the first…
Building an F1 Lap Sim Model
I’ve wrote a bit about my lap sim program before, but today I wanted to give a full demonstration. The goal will be to build up a model of a modern F1 car and correlate it to real telemetry data. My main tool will be my MATLAB quasi-static lap time simulation program, but the process…
2021 Williams F1 CFD
Thanks to some clever people I was able to get a CAD model of the current 2021 Williams F1 car — that’s not something that happens every day, so of course I had to run CFD on it. The suspension positions on the model were set up for around 2.08 degrees rake, so that’s how…
