[MVRC] Mantium Virtual Racecar Challenge 2025 (Grand Prix Cars)

[Coventry]

Hey, I’m currently trying to get my feet wet with mantiumflow before jumping into this challenge, I’m stuck at building a case. The loading geometry panel gets to 95% and then doesn’t move from there, I left it over night but no progress. I’m just trying to run the car tutorial off the site, I’ve tried building on both the competition and demo versions of mflow but get the same result with both. Does any one know where I might be going wrong?

Hi guys,
my friend just told me about this competition and I would love to share my 2026 car that I have been developing since the new year. Here is the pressure distribution and you can find many more details on my X page

Looks like you've been busy. You should enter! I suspect you'd need to develop a new car to meet the mvrc rules, particularly about surface thickness but the more the merrier!

But you aren’t working on 26 cars right now right? I would love to enter this competition for 26. But I have a few questions. Do you have CFD for free and is it computing locally or on cloud? Do you design model in specified CAD or is it free choice?

Hi, the CFD solver is OpenFOAM, the pre/post processing is done with a free version of MantiumFLOW (https://mantiumflow.com/). The official CAD format for the car submission is STL, in case the staff decided to change it would be STEP (with standardized STL conversion) so you can use any CAD software to produce your models.

Yes, MVRC2025 is using the 2026 F1 regulations. We try to stay 1 year ahead of the real cars. https://mantiumchallenge.com/ has everything you need to get started.

Can't resist a little teaser. First run is in the books.

+1 from my side. Still far away from the first run.
