You have to open the *.foam file with Paraview. I prefer to check the pressure distribution on the "body" patch in a range of +/- 1000 Pa, but there are a lot of different data.

Google for the following 'khamsin kart' and you will get a very good YouTube tutorial from Julien. Will want to skip the start as its about the old Khamsin plugin but the rest is invaluable.

The results are coming soon... I will let Chris release them - I am trying to get some of the backend in order to show the overall point tally. I think at the first season we waited a few race before getting this together, I am trying to improve...

Some boring cars with highly restrictive aero rules seems to be taking up all the track time... ;-)

At least they compensate with funny team strategies.

Congratulation to JJR, Variante and Mantium.
Not happy for my 4th place, it has been confirmed that efficiency matters even at Montecarlo :)

Congratulation to JJR indeed, and to everybody else as all the models have been remarkably improved.

As anticipated, i'm not happy with my result...
Despite being quite confident for the following race, i'm quite worried about high efficiency ones, where JJR's car should have a considerable advantage.

Waiting for the numeric results for a detailed analysis; i'm especially curious about "TF" car data.

Fairly happy with that, a few more points.
Gained a couple of places which is uncommon for me in KVRC :D

Congratulation to JJR Racing, Variante and Mantium RAY. Very impressive and very tight results. The overall point count is shown on the website frontpage, with JJR Racing and Variante taking a clear lead with 43 points each. CAEdevice follows in third place with 27 points, just ahead of Mantium RAY - 25 points. It looks like it is going to be a very competitive season.

Now is the time for another look at the winning designs:
