Aero Optimization of Volvo S60 WTCC Race Car
Keynote
Sala Acqua, Wed, 18/05/2016 - 15:00 - 15:30

Cyan Racing is the official Volvo motorsport partner through its performance company Polestar. From 2016 Polestar Cyan Racing is competing in the World Touring Car Championship. In order to optimize the aerodynamics of the Volvo S60 TC1 WTCC race car, Cyan Racing has conducted a wind tunnel session where the DOE was derived with modeFRONTIER.

After the wind tunnel test the result data was collected in modeFRONTIER and response surfaces were extracted. From those response surfaces an aeromodel of the car was generated that was fed into Cyan Racing’s Lap Time Simulation software in order to retrieve the most effective aero settings of the car for the various circuits that the 2016 WTCC season comprises. Also this process was driven by modeFRONTIER.
