Bringing in professional analysis ⚡️😤 Seth Dillard - Aerodynamics/CFD Engineer for RFK Racing - gave us a full breakdown from this CFD of Lightning McQueen.

A+ content

Analysis on Chick Hick’s moustache next please

This is awesome.

Seth I respect your expertise but I suspect that Lightning’s tires blowing out had more to do with the fact that he ran at least 207 laps (and likely many more) on them at their version of Bristol, while also spinning out and navigating a wreck on that set of tires.

Can someone analyze Francesco? We like cars without fenders.🤷

Cars 2 didn’t exist

Admin unaware this CFD analysis would turn into a banger.

Best aero analysis of all time

stop body shaming mcgroomer

Haha. This is cool. However, please tell the aero guy to spend more time analyzing RFK cars. Us RFK fans are starving for a W.

I’m curious what the difference is in his Cars 2 design. Has he has a different spoiler, a covering underneath, and different sidescurts

Can we get a CFD scan of Cars 2 mcqueen now, with the different rear wing?

I work in Technology. I bet working with this guy is awesome

Let’s check aero with Lightning McQueen in yaw, the way Doc Hudson taught him to drive…

@LiamLawson30

Yes but this doesn’t take into account him arching his back for dynamic aero control

@AZSportsCar80

I mean... call me crazy... if I were in charge at RFK I would have this dude working around the clock to make the cars competitive. not wasting time on Lightning McQueen... but what do I know... I don't care about social media traffic... I care more about on track performance.

@dr_obbs care to weigh in?

This is epic. As good as social content gets.

Yall hiring 👀

The mold they used for the 2006 line is different from the mold they’ve used from 2017 onwards. Anyway we can get this redone with the original diecast mold?

@F430str do a counter

So Lightning McQueen was designed with some realism in mind! Dusty Crophopper in the Planes movies was also animated realistically to his design

Give this man a raise

😹😹no way this just got more real , need Matt Armstrong to buy a salvaged corvette and turn it into A McQueen project now

@KevinNicolasPF1 @canaleffe

so this is how I find out Cars was fiction this whole time? 😔

Think we’re all greed cars 2 is the worst.

This is cool and all but shouldn’t you be trying to make RFKs cars faster and better handling

We need a Jackson Storm CFD

Is surprising how separate is the flow in the back for a fastback design. Only for know, what speed or conditions do you use for simulation?

Hey, why dont you use this time and resources to improve the real cars, 3 cars and no playoff, no wins no nothing

He needs some vortex generators on the roof, or to squint when he's driving. Few strakes on the floor wouldn't hurt either
