      Front wing optimisation for TBRe FS 2023 vehicle with objectives of minimising impact of front-wing tyre-wake on downstream aerodynamic devices and increasing aerodynamic performance. Accurate CFD simulation ensured through study of validation method followed by development of 3D design including arched elements, footplate, endplate, endplate strakes, cascade and Y250 vortex generation to optimise flow control. Comparison of CFD results validated with wind tunnel model testing.
