There is no other race car type that we’ve seen in a long time that piques the imagination more or fits the budget better than the Cyclekart. In the US, help is at hand from IMSA, which runs the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship that takes in the big endurance races at Daytona, Sebring and elsewhere. Conception – After the briefing with the race engineer on the required changes after the last race, the design team arrives at a new concept , or a worthwhile modification to an existing component. Structural design software or FEA / FEM (Finite Element Analysis/Method) enables you to simulate loads on a structure to determine how much deflection or load the structure will handle.

For example, the refuelling ban implemented in the 2010 Formula One Season, forced teams to run larger fuel tanks, and they also had to take into account the changes on CG height due to fuel burn off.Crucially, a thorough Balance of Performance equalisation programme is designed to make good any aerodynamic disadvantages that result from the design changes, paving the way for a good-looking car that’s still capable of winning against LMP2 rivals when the two race each other.

From the tyre dynamics article, it should now be clear that the greatest contact patch size is desirable from a dynamics point of view. To solve this problem, last year we would use the airflow off the front wing to kick the tyre wake as far out and away from the car as possible. In an ideal situation where freedom to design for optimal chassis control is given, each mode would be controlled by a separate spring-damper system– providing different natural frequencies and different damping rates for each mode. Speedway Typeface is one of the vintage look racing typefaces packed with different elements and symbols.Radiators, fuel, water and oil tanks are also detailed designed, and the same is done to the remaining components and systems. To make it easier for designers, we created a design process for each of the four unique types of car project. The design options available can cater anywhere from just a 'Side' view, all the way up to a complete all round design that includes both sides, front, rear and plan views to cover all possible perspectives of the vehicle livery design. You can see in the characters that it has an italic mode and shows speed, so it is great for designing rally racing posters and sticking numbers on cars.
