CONSTANT UPDATES After the conceptual work, the biggest challenge of the design phase lies in launching and managing several parallel processes, which all deal with a specific aspect of the car, all the while adapting the programmes depending on the progress made in every field. One could think of a case where the aerodynamicists go up to their fellow engineers working on the transmission and say in substance: “If we change these forms in the area of the diffuser, we’ll gain a lot of downforce. Now, are you able to house the transmission in that volume, without hurting the component’s efficiency nor its robustness?” “The definition of that overall design and production program is...
