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.

Big Blue
This car was designed to print in two part, allowing for teflon washers on the interior of the car to allow the axles to spin more freely than the rough printed axle holes.Â
The design was considerably heavy at a whopping XX.XXg and did not preform as well as other racers.
The Black Bolt
This version of the car was designed to be as light as possible while keeping a similar shape to the first design. The print is completely hollow combined with the sleek shape and a weight of only XX.XXg, this car came in second place compared to the other racers.
