Future Updates
A range of expected updates are planned for the ARX-02a, along with bespoke components for the two street races on the American Le Mans Series calendar. Custom steering arms and a-arms for the St Petersburg and Long Beach events were expected and, according to Wirth, a return of the F1 -style brake shrouds that first appeared on the 2008 ARX-01 b. HPD's Miller also explained two further stages of the LM-AR7 were planned prior to Audi's withdrawal from the championship 'There's no point in...

a given drag level, or perhaps the other way around, the least drag for a given downforce level. Whichever requirement has priority will depend on what a team's simulations and or experience dictate as taking precedence and, of course, these requirements may differ from track to track within a given racing category. Whatever the aim, it is very apparent that computational fluid dynamics CFD is a great tool to apply to such a task, either at the design stage or during the development process....

Problems Of Perception
An undesirable side effect of this is an unhealthy obsession with PI figures in the paddock. kh Starting his career as an apprentice at British aircraft manufacturer De Havilland gave Dave Williams a thorough grounding in aeronautical engineering. It also made him curious about aerolastics - the study of vehicles as flexible structures and how they interact with aerodynamic forces. This took him to Cranfield University to study aircraft response in turbulence. Throughout this time he also...

Inerters
kk Williams regards inerters as 'the biggest change in suspension dynamics in years.' His experience on the rig of the technology that has swept through Formula 1 in the last couple of seasons is very enlightening. A couple of years ago the teams were bringing them to his rig for blind testing because, although they thought they worked, they were not entirely sure about their effectiveness. However, the iterations the teams produced for the last season were, in his experience, much better. 'If...
