Was really disappointed with the result of the last race, even after Julien re-run the simulation and got a proper figure that raised me a position or two.
Due to that I embarked on a mission to improve the car with a lot of testing. After talking to Julien about AWS with OCCFD and about a week or so of configuration on my side and some minor modifications to the OCCFD installer by Julien we finally got it working with AWS. The great thing about that was it meant I could run several simulations at the same time and get definitive results.
The first concept I lost when I was moving a partition on one of my HDD's and the power in the house tripped causing the data on that drive to become corrupted, despite my best efforts trying to recover the data, whatever I got out of it was corrupt and would not open.
Back to the drawing board.
In the end I had 4 different designs, each with something different but essentially the same design at heart. After all the tests this is what I have gone with for the next race. I have managed to gain 2000n+ downforce for only 400n of drag.
As you can see I took inspiration from Variante's front wing but this is not the only area of inspiration used. The pictures posted by Chris helped me to see where things were not quite right on my first submission. The car has a new front wing (obviously), new front suspension cover, new front wheel pods, new cover for the upper crash structure, new engine cover with different exhaust placement and finally a new diffuser.
There are still things I want to change but time was short because of the data loss, hopefully if they work we will see them for the next race.
