Within the team of the Aerodynamics, a groundbreaking blend of traditional design philosophy and avant-garde innovation takes shape. With a focus on optimizing the vehicle's airflow dynamics, the team's intricate designs revolve around wings, diffusers, and pioneering aerodynamic devices. Recently, they've embarked on extensive research into using flax as a core material for the car's body. Flax, celebrated for its lightweight properties and impressive strength-to-weight ratio, emerges not just as an alternative but as a sustainable forefront in racing material science. The team's commitment to integrating flax underscores a dual objective: to enhance racing performance while championing environmental sustainability. The iterative process of computational simulations, wind tunnel testing, and real-world data collection ensures that every modification - from the broadest wing to the minute surface texture of the flax composite - works harmoniously to give the car unparalleled speed, stability, and grip on the racetrack. In this nexus of performance and sustainability, the Aerodynamics team crafts the future, ensuring our vehicle isn't just built to race but is designed to lead the next wave of green racing evolution.

At the heart of our race car's raw power and nimble agility lies the expertise of the Powertrain & Electronics sub team. Delving deep into the mechanics, they are responsible for the intricate design, fine-tuning, and optimization of the engine or motor and transmission systems. The powertrain components are chosen and calibrated for a blend of explosive power, remarkable efficiency, and steadfast reliability. It's a symphony of mechanical components working in seamless harmony to convert fuel or electric energy into propulsive force. On the electronics spectrum, the team's expertise shines brightly in the realm of vehicle intelligence and communication. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) acts as the brain of our vehicle, managing various engine parameters, optimizing performance, and ensuring safe operations. Complementing the ECU is the Power Distribution Module (PDM), responsible for the intelligent distribution of electrical power to various vehicle subsystems. It safeguards the vehicle's intricate electrical network, ensuring components receive the right amount of power at the right time. Alongside, they meticulously design sensors, wiring harnesses, and other electronic systems, crafting a web of seamless communication between various vehicle systems. This ensures real-time data acquisition, vital for instantaneous performance analysis and adaptations. Together, the Powertrain & Electronics team creates a harmonious blend of mechanical might and electronic intelligence, making our race car not just a machine but a sentient being on the racetrack.
