AN ENGINEERING SANDBOX ON WHEELS

CIRCUIT LAB

Draw a circuit. Engineer a car for it. Find out where it breaks.

01

Draw the circuit

Sketch any closed shape with your mouse — an oval, a figure-of-eight, a hairpin nightmare. It becomes a real, drivable track with kerbs, run-off and walls.

02

Build the car

The circuit is analysed: is it a power track or a technical one? Spend an engineering budget on wings, tyres, gearing, brakes. Every part gives and every part takes.

03

Race & read

Three laps or thirty, against a full grid. Heat builds, tyres go off and fuel burns away — over a distance the race is won at the bench as much as at the wheel.

LEARN THE MACHINE BY BUILDING IT

The Lab Program

Eight chapters. Each one names a piece of thermodynamics, hands you a circuit built to make it unavoidable, and grades the car on numbers the solver actually computes.

Design the systems

Choose physical dimensions and operating limits. Cycle paths are generated from real state equations; profile and disc drawings are bounded manufacturing inputs.

Power unit cycle

Pressure and volume axes are in bar and litres. The path is an ideal Otto, Diesel, Brayton or Rankine process.

Wing section

Draw camber. Lift is calculated from profile camber, area and flap incidence.

LEADING EDGETRAILING EDGE—

Brake rotor & cooling fins

Draw radial cooling channels from the disc centre outward. More channels improve convection but reduce thermal mass.

HUBOUTER ROTOR—

Chassis & tyre platform

Every kilogram, pressure change and centre-of-gravity decision carries into the vehicle model.
