Motorsport · FSAE · Trackside

The road to race engineering.

Designing a rules-legal aero package for Dalhousie's FSAE car, working race weekends on a live crew, and chasing the sport that started it all.

Dalhousie Formula SAE · DMS-27

Front wing design study.

A rule-constrained aero package for Dalhousie's DMS-27 — aerodynamic research, packaging constraints, and a full SolidWorks assembly, with the rear wing to follow.

The Goal

Generate meaningful front-axle downforce inside the FSAE rules envelope — an S1223 main element with a 40° flap, packaged around the nose and built to be manufactured in a student shop.

Loading model…
DMS-27-AE-P001 front wing main element — drag to rotate · scroll to zoom. Full assembly export lands with the finished package.
Airfoil: Selig S1223 Main element @ 10° Flap @ 40° 7-part assembly SolidWorks

Justification report — key excerpts

The engineering case behind the design: airfoil selection, angle-of-attack trade-offs, and rules compliance. Final report lands within the week.

Up Next

Rear wing design study — same process, same rules discipline. It will live on this page alongside the front wing.

Race Crew · Rysport Racing

Working race weekends.

Trackside with Rysport Racing — spotting with live radio communication during sessions, next-day repair support after on-track incidents, and race-footage review with drivers. Including weekends alongside the IndyCar paddock.

For the Love of It

Formula 1.

It started with my late grandfather, who followed the sport closely. My dad tried to pass it on through high school, but it didn't fully take until the second half of the 2021 season — watching that title fight was a masterclass, and it settled what I wanted to do with my career. Since then: pit-lane walks at Silverstone, Monza, and Montréal.
