CR15

2019 was a large shift in the chassis design for Cardiff Racing, as we moved back to a full aluminium honeycomb chassis after a 7 year hiatus. This allowed much more flexible mounting of almost every component, as a mounting point could be placed anywhere on the chassis surface. A new aero package was also designed, with lightweight 3 piece front wing, and a full underfloor package, as well as new rear wing end plates, with custom aluminium moulds for all parts. The suspension was also developed further with new front and rear geometry, and actuation, utilising the newly purchased Ohlins damper units. A new concept was also introduced for the ARBs, utilising bladed sections to greatly increase the adjustability of the package.

However, the summer campaign was hampered by several reliability problems, at both competitions, resulting in finishing no endurances, and being much further down the order than we would like. The season ending, European scenic tour didn't help matters, and attention was turned to developing this successful concept for the next year of Cardiff Racing. However the team still managed 18th at FSUK and 14th at FSN which gave hope that with improved reliability they could improve next year.
