HOW THE CAR GOT FAST

The parts of the car we are most proud of, and the testing that justified them.

Wheel Change System

Our wheels have been adapted to allow a quick-change mechanism. It uses a twist-lock bayonet system, similar to those seen on model rockets, which lets the team perform wheel changes in under 5 seconds.

CFD Simulation Analysis

ATOMIC used a self-built wind tunnel to turn assumptions into measurable results. Under controlled conditions, changing one variable at a time, the engineering team isolated aerodynamic and mechanical weaknesses. The car design has been developed using strong CFD simulation evidence.

We are still adding detail, photographs and drawings to this page — if you scanned this at an event and want to know more right now, email us at atomicf1team@gmail.com.
