I’m doing a competition where I need to design and race a model F1 car. I wanted to ask for some guidance on a couple design aspects.
Is filling the space between the wheels (as shown in the image below) a good idea? The idea is to reduce wheel wake, but I haven’t seen any other designs do this. Any improvements I can make to the design of the side pods?
How do I improve my front wing design? The general idea was to try and direct air around and over the wheels. Is this the best way of executing that? Should I curve it to direct airflow around the car, as I have done now? And is the central nose shape where I curve it only vertically a good idea?
My main focus is on reducing drag. Downforce doesn’t matter as the track is straight and the car is propelled by a CO2 canister.
