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.

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

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.
