car c1-Ace
Main car body- Again this car was sketched by Dylan but in contrast to car G1-Phantom it had a thicker and rounder profile. With this car we wanted the air to flow as smoothly as possible across the car body in order to achieve a minimal amount of pressure hens making the car quicker. Instead of a pointy front, this car has a curved front which follows in with the tether line guide. The second aerodynamic feature of this design is the rear wing ramp which forces the wing upwards hitting the rear wings as little as possible. This car also has rear wing guards to reduce turbulence in the rear, but they are smaller and more curved to aid the wind flow.
Rear wing- For this rear wing we decided to place it on the top of the car instead of it coming out of the side, we decided on this so that we could compare (After having designed them on CAD) if it was better coming out of the side or on top of the car. The wing itself is designed exactly the same as the rear wing on car G1-Phantom (to reduce the drag by not forming an air gap)except for the wing support. The front of the support is curved to reduce the pressure in the rear of the car.
Front wing- For a simpler (But weaker) attachment we decided to connect the front wing to the car via one cylinder pole. This wing is not a straight line, instead it is a curved path so that the air will flow more smoothly. Because it is a curved path and nor a straight line the air will be pushed upwards away from the wheels.
