Practical Explanations and Application of Aero Fundamentals to a Vehicle

Hey 8Club,

Been doing some light research on the subject. Came across this gentleman recently and his channel is a great resource imo. He has also published a couple (few?) books that are available.


Enjoy!

The algorithm actually brings up some decent recommendations and I came across this really smart young professional the other day. Very much worth the time if you're interested in the subject and working towards understanding fundamental applications imo.



And if you're unfamiliar with the RP968, it's a real treat. I personally think AUS time attack cars are pretty awesome.


Enjoy!

Gobs of data-driven results found here: Occam's Racer – DIY aerodynamics and testing (occamsracers.com)

Some articles and the wind tunnel testing report are behind a one-time paywall, but absolutely worth it imo.
