I don't want to be negative. I just want to discuss new ideas. This forum was recommended to me by another passionate person like me.
I'm glad I found a forum that deals with these things.

I think I will send some emails to various teams. I have nothing to lose.


I think I have seen that design on previous Ferraris though. I will check

Yep. Solidworks would be fine. If you have difficulties with designing this part, we can try to make a suitable model (according to your concept) and then make an analysis (with different width of airfoils or profiles). I really like your idea and I am curious if this really works!

ok! put them here if you find those images that I can see them. I don't remember Ferrari with similar ideas. I may be wrong.

Nope.. but it still looks vaguely familiar...

thank you very much. I also want to know if it works or not!
My dad works with SolidWorks and can help me to make a design more technical and precise than my hand drawing. :D

I'm very happy to have found other fans like me. if you want, in the Italian forum I linked above, there are my other drawings. I love the design which is called "Project Gemini". If you want, watch it. thank a lot to all!

I saw n smikle. would be better to have a more detailed picture because it is not clear how did this area of ​​2cm. Ferrari tried the solutions here in 2012.

Havn't Red Bull always done this with their rear wings though? I don't think it's anything new

Well they always isolate the 2cm area on the outside. I think they've made it 3 element before, but not 4 like Ferrari

Which CAD software is simmilar to Google SketchUp, but more advanced?
I want to make my design, and share with you guys.

A programme between Sketchup and Solidworks for example, is probably something like ZModeller, which is what Wesley123 uses I believe.

I indeed use ZModeler, but for use with CFD and other CAD programs I do not recommend it. ZModeler is a really basic tool and apart from that is quite buggy. ZModeler2 adds a few functions but is still quite basic, plus it isn't free.

for use with CFD I would recommend Solidworks or an Autodesk product, these arent cheap so you have to get them in a way ACTA would stop/censor
