Delighted to have completed all the wetted surfaces after finishing my Formula One 2022 rulebook reading venture.
Here I present my contender for next F1's season,
the Rumble Bee RMB_L 22.
This is a CFD water-tight and robust model which I call as the first baseline of the car, designed parametrically after piecing all the components together, whilst ensuring a high surface quality.
In some areas of the car I did use the regulation boxes themselves as a starting point for my design to cater for any updates of the surfaces. This means that if a regulation box is updated, the surface follows suit accordingly.
Whilst going through the rulebook, I also did include some aerodynamic concepts after conducting aerodynamic research from books, online, and even studying other racing categories.
To cater for the wind tunnel version of the model, I made sure not to use the extreme limits of the regulation boxes, to allow for tolerance when it comes to manufacturing the part, so that the scale model remains legal and true to the rulebook.
Correlation tests are required to optimise the aerodynamic performance of the car. It is crucial to compare the CFD CAD model, the wind tunnel model and the full scale car out on track.
