Frank William Dernie (born 3 April 1950) is a British Formula One engineer. Dernie is credited with inventing active suspension, being the first engineer to use computer aided design, the first engineer to put a data logger on a formula one car and implemented the first on site wind tunnel (at Williams Grand Prix).
In mid-May 2017, Manor's assets were auctioned by auctioneers Gordon Brothers over four days to pay off some of the creditors. 4,000 items are up for sale, including four Marussia MR03B and Manor MRT05 chassis and the wind tunnel scale model of the Manor MRT07, in an attempt to cover more than €3.5 million in debts to fifty creditors, most of ...
CFD software called F1 Virtual Wind Tunnel [3] was designed by Denford Ltd. specifically for the challenge, although teams mostly tend to use other packages such as the Ansys Workbench or Autodesk Simulation suites. The competition is currently operational in over 40 countries. [4] The competition was first introduced in the UK in 1999. [5]
Several Formula One designs came close to the ground-effect solution which would eventually be implemented by Lotus. In 1968 and 1969, Tony Rudd and Peter Wright at British Racing Motors (BRM) experimented on track and in the wind tunnel with long aerodynamic section side panniers to clean up the turbulent airflow between the front and rear ...
The M197 was developed heavily at Fondmetal's wind tunnel in Ferrara, Italy. Davide Colombo also joined the aerodynamics team from F3000. Although design and development work had begun in mid-1996, the decision to use Hart V8 engines for 1997 was made late leading to extensive redesign work on the car in preparation for the first Grand Prix.

[7] [8] The MRT05 was designed largely from scratch as the team had lost their wind tunnel model, the MRN1, when the team collapsed at the end of 2014 and their original factory and wind tunnel were occupied by the new Haas F1 Team. [9] During the eight day pre season test in Spain, the MRT05 ran a total of 484 laps/2253km. Wehrlein's aggregate ...
Jiotto's facilities included a 25 per cent wind tunnel, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing equipment, and several autoclaves: all of which could be used to design and construct a more complicated Formula One car. [2] In 1995, the former team manager of the Minardi Formula One team, Tadashi Sasaki, joined Dome. [2]
