The aerodynamics subsystem works to design bodywork that reduces drag and produces downforce. Reducing drag allows the car to cut through the air more efficiently while producing downforce that pushes the car into the ground. These components enable better speed and grip. Being a part of this subsystem involves visualizing how air will flow over various parts of the car and how we can use that flow to improve performance.

Austin - Aero Lead

"I love watching racing, and I wanted to know more about how cars were built to get the most performance. When I saw Formula Kentucky [my] freshman year I knew I had to join. I love seeing all the members of my subsystem succeed and giving them the tools to design the best parts possible. Having a view to see the subsytem's...designs come together is one of the most rewarding parts of being a lead." (Austin, 2022)
