Sketch to Start line

We're still preparing everything. The prototype is in testing, and these are the steps we're working through before race day.

  1. The brief

    A blank design folder and a box of regulations. We sketched wildly, argued a lot, and picked a shape that felt fast on paper.

    Done

  2. CAD

    Weeks in the modelling software, reworking every curve, wing and wheel until the shape finally felt right.

    Done

  3. Printed

    The design goes to the 3D printer and the body comes out layer by layer. Then we test it, find what's wrong, and print again.

    In progress

  4. The look

    Livery, portfolio, pit display and this site. The Icarus identity built to match how the car wants to move.

    In progress

  5. Race day

    Twenty metres, one canister, a few seconds of pure nerves. Then straight back to the bench to find the next tenth.

    Up next

Still preparing. More soon.
