| 00:00 | This brings us to the end of our aerodynamic fundamentals course. |
| 00:04 | We've covered a lot of information here and you should now have a good understanding of the fundamentals of vehicle physics and aerodynamics, air development and testing, cooling and much more. |
| 00:16 | This means you're now armed with the knowledge to go out and design, test and race with your own aerodynamic package fitted to your car. |
| 00:24 | Remember if you didn't fully understand anything covered in these modules, it's easy to go back through and revisit any topics you feel like you could do a refresher on. |
| 00:33 | Before we finish up, there are a few things that I think are important to reiterate. |
| 00:38 | First, it is critical to remember that aero is always situational and there is no magic bullet or hard rule that will cover every aero application for every car. |
| 00:49 | Second, you should always read your rules thoroughly and consider what your options are to make the absolute most out of your rule set. |
| 00:57 | Third, when starting out with a club level car, you should get the fundamentals right first. |
| 01:03 | Start with a good splitter and rear wing package and find the correct aero balance for your car before moving on to other devices such as diffusers. |
| 01:12 | Fourth, make sure you are having a well designed and thought out cooling package that utilizes the principles of air in, air out for all coolers and hot items on the car. |
| 01:23 | And lastly, remember that almost every change in an automotive application comes with some form of compromise and any effect on safety must be considered carefully. |
| 01:33 | This course was designed to give you the knowledge and understanding to correctly design and test aerodynamic devices at the club level, but there's always more to learn. |
| 01:43 | So, if you have any technical questions or concepts that you want to dive deeper into, feel free to use the form below which will generate a topic on the members forum for discussion. |
| 01:51 | As with most things related to motorsport engineering, the best way to learn is by practical experience. |
| 01:58 | So, it's time to get out there and start putting together your aero package and testing it based on what you've learned. |
| 02:04 | Thanks again for taking the course, I'm looking forward to seeing your aero designs, testing results and discussions in the members forum. |
