This is a great thread! I'm excited to follow it!

What are you guys using for your CFD sim? I'm definitely interested in seeing the results.

One thing to note about CFD: its not actual "real life" data. Its one of the most ground breaking additions to the design and testing process, but its still a simulation. It's a big misconception that its 100% (or even 99+%) accurate to real conditions. Its all about the software, the 3D model, and how the programmer/aerodynamicist sets everything up.

In the end you still have to get it on the track or in a "real" wind tunnel...
