Formula Renault UK Aerodynamics

Hi guys,

I was just wondering, always dangerous , if anyone on here had any first hand experience with Formula Renault or any other type of Formula type aerodynamics. This is because I am doing my foundation degree (in Motorsport) project on aero and wanted to see what the effects of a few simple design changes to the front wing (or maybe more, time dependant) of a Formula Renault would have on downforce and drag.

I have already made a start on the original wing from random images I have picked from the internet.

I modelled this in less than an hour so I know it's not perfect

But to get to my main question, does anyone have any high detail images of this years car/any schematics of it?

Thanks,

Daniel

The New Wing design - Note that I haven't been designing this to any specific set of regulations and the object for my project was to see what the effect of different shaped aerofoils, no. of elements and endplate design had on the downforce levels and efficiency of the wing in its entirity.
