The mighty pitot tube. To measure fluid flow velocity as opposed to just measuring car speed with wheel speed sensors. It takes into account wind speed as well as vehicle speed. This one fitted to a clients car ready for testing and can be used in conjunction with linear pots and pushrod strain gauges for track aero correlation. Cool stuff! #kineticsim #racecarengineering #aero #cfd #aerodynamics #ansyscfx #motorsportengineering
So many bits and pieces to custom suspension at this level. Everything custom made to suit the application. Even playing around with laser etching and QR codes with @globalworkshop_rowan @racelabnz @kinetic_sim @dome_racing_team @hewlandengineering #group5drm #dtm #gt3 #racecarengineering #cad #kineticsim #e21 #cadmodelling #nz #bmwe21 #dome #carbonchassis #supergt #supergt500 #motherchassis #gt300 #vk45de #nismo

She’s got four corners on her now.

Nice to get the geometry all confirmed so that the rear design can steam ahead. A nice little package thanks to the Hewland transaxle. With the re-design requiring a lot of new bits including uprights, rockers, pitch spring, arb etc. @racelabnz @kinetic_sim @dome_racing_team @hewlandengineering #group5drm #dtm #gt3 #racecarengineering #cad #kineticsim #e21 #cadmodelling #nz #bmwe21 #dome #carbonchassis #supergt #supergt500 #motherchassis #gt300 #vk45de #nismo
Solid few weeks of progress. Really figuring out all the details and how things are going to all work together. So many things to think about with every part. Can it do more than one function. What will it clash with. Is it serviceable. Will those assembling hate me. Probably. @racelabnz @kinetic_sim @dome_racing_team @hewlandengineering #group5drm #dtm #gt3 #racecarengineering #cad #kineticsim #e21 #cadmodelling #nz #bmwe21 #dome #carbonchassis #supergt @supergt500 #motherchassis #gt300 #vk45de #nismo

Chipping away. Making good progress on a lot of areas. When geometry is finalized I’ll be able get the front all sorted and rear uprights done ✅ @racelabnz @kinetic_sim @dome_racing_team @hewlandengineering #group5drm #dtm #gt3 #racecarengineering #cad #kineticsim #e21 #cadmodelling #nz #bmwe21
For the @racelabnz E21 BMW project the engine base is the Nissan VK45DE engine. We are developing this as an endurance spec engine similar to the LMP2/Super GT version of this engine. First step has been to have the engine scanned thanks to @procadsys and a CAD model created. We did this as the engine is being installed as a stressed part of the chassis so we are developing a lot of mounting parts for it. Disclaimer: Full CAD engine in final pic is the Nismo LMP2 spec engine CAD. #group5drm #dtm #gt3 #racecarengineering #cad #kineticsim #e21 #cadmodelling #nz #bmwe21 #vk45de #nissan #nismo

Few understand how much work goes into designing to this detail. How many revisions and changes to better the design. And then how much time CAD modeling everything. A mixture of scan data, CAD from suppliers and things measured and modeled. Every bolt. Every washer. And it’s even harder to find a client willing to design a car to this level. 🙏 @racelabnz @kinetic_sim #group5drm #dtm #gt3 #racecarengineering #cad #kineticsim #e21 #cadmodelling #nz #bmwe21
