Topics

Trackside aerodynamics and the future of F1 Aerodynamics
Delivered by Dominic Harlow

  • Understand the elements of aerodynamic performance trackside in F1.
  • Explore how the future 2026 regulation changes will impact F1 aerodynamics and what you need to be aware of as an engineer.

Vortex flow and generation
Delivered by Matthew Schofield

  • Discover how gurney flaps work and the pressure distribution effect.
  • Investigate vortex flow generation and why it is so relevant to F1 cars.
  • How vortices impact the aero maps of the car.


Flow field and wind tunnel model
Delivered by Willem Toet

  • Adding a new element into an existing flow field – how do you decide what you want, where it goes and what shape it should be once you have an objective.
  • The design of a wind tunnel model.
  • There are many great jobs in an aero group – one example is working in facility development/maintenance – to illustrate the example, we will look at the creation and installation of a wheel tracking system to be installed into a moving ground system.
