Building a Splitter
with DrVolks
Dr. Volks has developed an innovative and cost-effective splitter design for his race car.
Key features include:
-
Construction from repurposed aluminum street signs, providing a lightweight and flexible material
-
3D printed tunnels to enhance downforce generation
-
A curved leading edge created from a 3/4" PVC water pipe, shaped using a heat gun
-
The flexible aluminum construction allows the splitter to maintain its shape when encountering obstacles like grass on the track
This custom-built splitter demonstrates Dr. Volks' creative approach to aerodynamics, achieving high performance at a low cost. The design leverages readily available materials and 3D printing technology to produce an effective aerodynamic component for racing applications.
