Automotive aerodynamics is the study of the aerodynamics of road vehicles. Its main goals are reducing drag and wind noise, minimizing noise emission, and preventing undesired lift forces and other causes of aerodynamic instability at high speeds. Air is also considered a fluid in this case. For some classes of racing vehicles, it may also be important to produce downforce to improve traction. In this challenge, you will not only learn about how build and design a race car but will also realize how the design the surface of a car can help minimize drag and improve its motion through the air for better performance.

The gif wasn't able to be obtain because the program froze and deleted most of the flow sim progress.
The 3 stages of the first Custom C02 car build
Stage 1
Gave it axle holes
Flow Sim
Stage 2
Lofted the part to give it that wavy look
Contours in Flow sim
Stage 3 Assembly
Fillet most sides on the part
The reason this build wasn't choose as the final build because it didn't fit on the 3d printer because of its length so changes were made.
