Aerodynamics and Car Velocity

Triangular car base
- This will increase aerodynamics as the wind will not cause resistance on the cars movement as the cars pointy tip will break the still air as it passes through, allowing it to reach maximum speed faster.
Plastic Pointy Tip
- This tip will help guide the wind wind/air over the top of the vehicle, this will further decrease the cars resistance and therefore allow it to travel faster.
Tyres
- The tyres can be dismantled further, removing the outside grip and inner rims to reduce total car mass, and a lighter car means less weight and therefore a greater velocity.
