Shape a genuine parametric 3D car. Every adjustment updates the same engineering model used by the wind tunnel and race simulation.
Balance weight, cost, structure and rolling resistance. Material choices carry through to the actual vehicle, testing and scrutineering.
Compare material structure, density and component cost. Each specimen illustration depicts a recognisable material form; numerical properties come from Pit Lane’s original model.
Three fully modelled 3D testing environments: visualise airflow, stress-test a CO₂ launch and compare wheel friction.
Check the vehicle against the active class regulations before race day. Failures are actionable design feedback, not just red labels.

Head to head on a 20-metre arena. Race timing, camera views and performance comparisons use the original simulator.

SIMULATED 20 METRE PERFORMANCE
Capture every iteration and test result, explain your decisions and export an evidence-based engineering portfolio.

Compare your design with the kit baseline, check compliance, and identify data-driven improvements using the original simulation.
Checks use the class and staff-adjusted limits set in your garage. Verify against the official rules before manufacturing.
Actions are based on actual failed checks and simulated alternatives that do not introduce new compliance failures. Results require physical validation.
Same simulated environment and race model for both cars. Time differences exclude driver reaction.
After refining your car, record each wind-tunnel run, launch test and race in the Logbook to demonstrate iterative improvement.
Reports can be printed to PDF or saved as a standalone HTML document, including the technical drawing and modelled values.
