This was my first project for Cooper Motorsports as a freshman. From sketch, to CAD model, to carboard mockup, and finally to a debatably functional composite prototype, with a small team I designed and manufactured a prototype undertray and diffuser for the 2016 car, which was a first for the team. I also designed an extended jacking point that allowed the car to be serviceable even with a large diffuser in the back and doubled as mounting for the undertray. The design wasn’t the most successful in terms of outright performance, but I learned a tremendous amount from it and caught the bug for aerodynamic design.
