  • Formula 1 Race Car Performance Improvement by Optimization of the Aerodynamic Relationship Between the Front and Rear Wings
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Engineering FORMULA 1 RACE CAR PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT BY OPTIMIZATION OF THE AERODYNAMIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FRONT AND REAR WINGS A Thesis in Aerospace Engineering by Unmukt Rajeev Bhatnagar © 2014 Unmukt Rajeev Bhatnagar Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science December 2014 The thesis of Unmukt R. Bhatnagar was reviewed and approved* by the following: Mark D. Maughmer Professor of Aerospace Engineering Thesis Adviser Sven Schmitz Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering George A. Lesieutre Professor of Aerospace Engineering Head of the Department of Aerospace Engineering *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract The sport of Formula 1 (F1) has been a proving ground for race fanatics and engineers for more than half a century. With every driver wanting to go faster and beat the previous best time, research and innovation in engineering of the car is really essential. Although higher speeds are the main criterion for determining the Formula 1 car’s aerodynamic setup, post the San Marino Grand Prix of 1994, the engineering research and development has also targeted for driver’s safety. The governing body of Formula 1, i.e. Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has made significant rule changes since this time, primarily targeting car safety and speed. Aerodynamic performance of a F1 car is currently one of the vital aspects of performance gain, as marginal gains are obtained due to engine and mechanical changes to the car. Thus, it has become the key to success in this sport, resulting in teams spending millions of dollars on research and development in this sector each year.

  • Hot Wheels UCL and Group Lotus: Celebrating Colin Chapman's Legacy of Engineering Innovation
    The official industry newsletter of Lotus Engineering Issue 23 November/December 2007 UCL and Group Lotus: Celebrating Colin Chapman’s legacy of engineering innovation Hot Wheels Lotus Engineering Change the Rules Welcome Sometimes it’s great to see what happens when anything goes. The business of designing and engineering cars is a constant balancing act. Many factors influence the final product: market and customer requirements affect form and function, legislation is an unavoidable factor, engineering feasibility and manufacturing practically have to be considered. There are many more, not least cost – a product can only be successful if it works on a commercial basis. This careful balancing act is something that Lotus understands – it is critical for us to make a successful business out of niche volume cars – and it is something that our engineering clients value. It is incredibly important and at the heart of the work we do. But great things can also happen when talented designers and engineers operate outside the normal, ‘real-world’ constraints. The Tokyo motor show allows the Japanese Peter Morgan industry to play with technology. As ever, this year, there were many weird and wonderful examples. 10 Closer to home, the awesome Lotus Concept for Hot Wheels is the glorious result of Lotus Design being given the creative freedom to design a futuristic car to be made into a 1:64 scale toy car. Steven Crijns describes how his concept came to be. Although, if ever there was an article that was all about looking at the pictures, this is it. Sadly it won’t be on sale until next year, so too late for my Christmas list.

  • Alpine F1 Team Takes Home Two Points from Spanish Grand Prix After Hard-Fought Contest Alpine F1 Team's Esteban Ocon Scored Tw
    Alpine F1 Team takes home two points from Spanish Grand Prix after hard-fought contest Alpine F1 Team’s Esteban Ocon scored two points from today’s Spanish Grand Prix after finishing in ninth place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya with home favourite Fernando Alonso outside the points in seventeenth. On a difficult afternoon in Barcelona, the team planned for a one-stop strategy with both cars, which ultimately proved increasingly challenging towards the latter stages of the race. Esteban managed to hold on to ninth place at the chequered flag with Fernando pitting close to the end as a result of high degradation on his Medium tyres on his second stint. After yesterday’s superb qualifying, Esteban made a clean start from fifth position, but lost two places on the opening lap. Fernando, from tenth, was locked in a wheel-to-wheel battle but held onto his place. In between an early safety car, both drivers remained in seventh and tenth before Fernando pitted on lap 21 for Mediums and Esteban two laps later for the same compound. With others around also pitting, it was a straight, tactical fight to the end. Esteban managed his tyres to the end, falling back to ninth, with Fernando unable to secure points at his home race after struggling on his set of tyres. He pitted on lap 61 for Softs to take him to the chequered flag in seventeenth. The team remains fifth in the Constructors’ Championship. Esteban Ocon, started P5, finished P9 “It was a tough race today. We have a few things to review as we weren’t as fast as the Ferraris or the McLarens in the race.
