Robin Shute has won the Pikes Peak Hill Climb multiple times. He's using AirShaper to improve the aerodynamics of his car:
- For the next Pikes Peak race
- For race tracks

As the aerodynamics are quite different between Pikes Peak and race tracks, he ran a lot of simulations to tweak the downforce, aero balance and drag on this car.

The result was a well balanced car, which correlated very well with the simulated behavior of AirShaper. Based on these modifications, Robin already broke the record at Streets of Willow, smashing it by 11 seconds.

The AirShaper videos cover the basics of aerodynamics (aerodynamic drag, drag & lift coefficients, boundary layer theory, flow separation, reynolds number...), simulation aspects (computational fluid dynamics, CFD meshing, ...) and aerodynamic testing (wind tunnel testing, flow visualization, ...).

We then use those basics to explain the aerodynamics of (race) cars (aerodynamic efficiency of electric vehicles, aerodynamic drag, downforce, aero maps, formula one aerodynamics, ...), drones and airplanes (propellers, airfoils, electric aviation, eVTOLS, ...), motorcycles (wind buffeting, motogp aerodynamics, ...) and more!

The Chery aero concept claims a drag coefficient of just 0.168, which is significantly lower than the values of Tesla, Lucid which hover around 0.20.

This is still a concept car, so it remains to be seen how it performs once it goes into production.
