Hi,

We started a virtual F1 car design challenge for wannabe F1 aerodynamic designers (and open to anyone with the time).

The principle is simple: design a F1 compliant car (we are looking at external aerodynamic), submit the design prior to the race. We then take the design, run a couple of CFD analysis on it and use estimated drag and downforce into a lap time calculator. The fastest car wins.

Participation is free. It is a pure design challenge for fun (we are trying to find prizes for the winners).

If you are interested, have a look at the website http://www.khamsinvirtualracecarchallenge.com/

I want to take the opportunity to thank our sponsor, particularly Sabalcore (http://www.sabalcore.com) for providing us with the computational resources to run this challenge.

kind regards,
Julien de Charentenay on behalf of the Khamsin Virtual Racecar Challenge Team
