Legality box and floor
Set the rules first: the FIA reference volumes, then the first part, the floor.
- Study of the 2026 FIA technical regulations.
- Legality box built in CATIA.
- Floor modelling.
Part 2
Bodywork
The part that finally makes it look like an F1 car: the front around the driver and the rear around the engine.
- Monocoque, nose and survival cell.
- Cockpit, sidepods and exhaust.
- Rear bodywork that guides the airflow to the back.
Part 3
Front wing
One of the most demanding parts of the car, checked in simulation.
- Profile and endplate geometry.
- Full CFD study in SIMULIA.
- Auxiliary parts.
Part 4
Rear wing and assembly
The last aero part, then the whole car in one assembly, and rendered.
- Profiles, endplate, brace and pylon.
- Rotation between Corner Mode and Straight Mode.
- CFD study in SIMULIA and final assembly.
