Before the midterm break, our design engineers were very busy working on the final touches being put to our F1 model car on solid works. We have done a lot of research on aerodynamics, and found some of the best ways to make our car as aerodynamic as possible. We also wanted the car to be as light as possible, because the lighter the object the faster it will travel. We had many different ideas and designs drawn up, but after working hard to get the design right, we were finally happy with the car.
We have sent the car design to the Institute of Technology in Cork where the car will be manufactured out of balsa wood. After this we must get the car sanded down and painted with high quality paint. Each member of Team Petrolic are happy with the final design and we caare looking forward to seeing the car when its completed.
