So making this quick and short, us designers need to try and make our car with the least amount of pressure, for example we need to try and get the front wing with the least amount of pressure (blue)? or am wrong?

no you need high pressure (red) over the top of wings, beam wing etc. Blue (low) under. you need some overlap to keep the airflow moving

blue around the sidepod won't be a bad thing (i'm guessing) because low pressure = high velocity - you want the air to move quickly around the sidepod, i think thats right?

Looks like I need a new front wing design whilst keeping the front winglets.

from looking at images of current F1 front wings they appear to be flat on the top of the main plane. so are you saying your going for flat across the top and curved upwards at the bottom??

thats what i'm doing. If you look at this picture of mclaren, it seems they do it.

Ive got Khamsin and all the other bits installed, Ive tried to follow the pdf on the Hibou website but its mush to me. Is there a simple way of getting it set up so I can run my own sim's on components?

Can I just quietly say how much better this is already compared to FSketch =D> to the guys who got this going

Thankyou for the comments, I am sorry about being slow with the emails, I am just checking over a few things before sending them out, I have been extremely busy with CFD for another thing I am doing at the moment, so bare with us, also I travel on weekends for different events so I am slotting this around University work and around CFD work,

I intend on making a numbers page, on what they mean for each car etc, all part of the learning process for those who don't know how to interpret this data, I will forward the VTK links on to you within the PDF's,

Thanks for your understanding
Nick

Please see "Monaco GP in numbers" page very interesting information:

its interesting the 3 legal cars were the 3 fastest

whats that best split between front and rear downforce?

Could of sworn my tub was legal when I started work on the car.
Nevermind.

N12ck the tub of my submission (STZ racing) was a custom made one.

Apologies, will correct this,

Any requests of graphs or anything for the page? Would you like to see a bar chart comparing the magnitudes between drag and downforce of all the teams?

i don't think graphs etc are needed?

yeah make some pretty charts for us simpletons
