The Aerodynamics sub-team at Ryerson Formula Racing uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for designing and optimizing the race car. Designing an aerodynamics package from the ground up is a very time consuming process for a small team and CFD studies need to incorporate a balance of accuracy and speed in order to both get useful results and finish the design on time. This is where High Performance Computing (HPC) can play an important role in accelerating innovation. Ryerson Formula Racing is a student led racing team that designs and builds a Formula One style car from scratch every year. Based out of Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada, the team has been operating for twenty-six years and has competed globally in events at venues such as the Silverstone Circuit in
