A loosely chronological series on the process of introducing aerodynamics to the small but well-proven UTAS Motorsport FSAE team that we pushed up to 4th in Australasia and into the top 15% of teams worldwide within 3 years of being reborn. The posts cover everything from goals and scope to simulation tools and processes, to testing and validation for the 2024 season. You'll see how much can be done with very few resources, while still thinking beyond the rush of the 12-month design cycle.
