CFD = complete f***ing disaster? That’s funny, now answer this question:

You control an F1 team. You are given 3 options for aerodynamic optimization:
A) CFD only
B) physical testing only
C) A combination of physical testing and CFD

In a related question: Guess which of the above choices 100% of successful F1 teams have selected for the past 5-10 years?

Chris, indeed, 14 seconds off pace in Formula 1 is technically “turtle mode.” Hopefully this will look up for the little Virgin Racing team. “The little F-1 team that could”

“After the first runs in Jerez this week, CFD was beginning to take on the initials of Complete ****ing Disaster.”

Hopefully they made some improvements before the race but in the following article they were saying that the CFD only car was 14 seconds off the pace. I think you would get lapped every 5 laps at that rate.
