For fun we took our contest entry and ran a CFD on it to see what we had. I thought it would be interesting to share the results.

130 mph, 0 degrees yaw produced a Cd of .338 and Cl of .226 Our balance of down force is biased to the rear in part because of the race wing and large tunnels and diffuser. Now that we have the grid set up we can iterate design changes quickly to dial in a good balance front and rear. We'll probably run a few more cases with various trim and I'll post those results too.
