Instructor(s)

Aerodynamics Performance Engineer

Edouard Bissen

Edouard started his motorsport career in 2016 as a Race Engineer in GT4. He studied a PhD in Fluid Mechanics in 2016-2019. Since then Edouard has been an Aerodynamicist in Formula One, first at Haas F1 Team and in 2023 he moved to Oracle Red Bull Racing as an Aero Performance Engineer.

Aero Performance Engineer - MoneyGram Haas F1 Team

Marco D'Isanto

Marco graduated from University of Naples Federico II with a MSc in Aerospace Engineering and a major in Computational Fluid Dynamics. He started his journey into Motorsport as Wind Tunnel Engineer at Dallara, whilst also spending his weekends as a Data Engineer in amateurish racing series. In the last four seasons he has been working as Aero Performance Engineer for MoneyGram Haas F1 Team.

Head of Aerodynamic Services

James Eddison

James has over 25 years’ experience in motorsport engineering. James started his aerodynamics career with Tyrrell working within a small design group. He then progressed through Jordan GP, Renault F1 through to Sauber where he works today as Head of Aerodynamic Services, which includes offering F1 aero development methods to customers, including wind tunnel testing.

Topics

The Role of an Aero Performance Engineer

Delivered by Edouard Bissen

  • Discover what happens at a race weekend from the perspective of an Aero Performance Engineer
  • Find out more about the roles and tasks involved pre-event, during free practice, qualifying, during the race and post event.
  • Your opportunity to ask Edouard your questions!


Vortex flow and generation

Delivered by Matthew Schofield

  • Investigate vortex flow generation and why it is so relevant to F1 cars.
  • How vortices impact the aero maps of the car.
  • Discover more about the floor, tyre wake management and aerodynamic development


Wind tunnel model and air flow

Delivered by James Eddison

  • James will cover wind tunnel model design, functionality and use.
  • As well as this, you will gain an understanding of air flow around the tyres and the correlation difficulties aerodynamicists face in this area.


Aerodynamic measurements in Formula 1: from sensors to models

Delivered by Marco D'Isanto


  • Master how pitot tubes, pressure scanners, kiel probes and pressure rakes work. You will also gain insight into how the sensors are used on aerodynamic models.
  • Plus Q&A sessions throughout the module!
