The CFD Trap

Why teams get lost without experimental validation

CFD Limitations

High-lift devices and turbulent flows exceed CFD accuracy limits, leading to false confidence in development direction

🔄

Correlation Crisis

Poor CFD-to-reality correlation creates confusion between simulation, wind tunnel, and track data

🎯

Small Margins, Big Impact

Aerodynamic gains are measured in tenths - uncertainty in your tools means uncertainty in your decisions

🗣️

Conflicting Feedback

When CFD says one thing, experiments another, and drivers give mixed feedback - which do you trust?

The Solution

Experimental testing removes subjectivity and provides the validated data foundation your team needs to make confident aerodynamic decisions.
