Pikes Peak race car Ep15 - Aerodynamics analysis

In todays episode it's time to address the elephant in the room. The terrible aerodynamics of the VW Beetle shape. We've brought the car to Catesby Projects Ltd to do some CFD analysis on the car. We should then get an idea of what we can do to improve the aerodynamics of the car and improve the front downforce with a diffuser so we can match the rear downforce of the wing and splitter. We also take a look at Catesby Tunnel, their amazing facility used for various testing, from race cars to bicycles.
