This week's episode of the HPA Tuned In podcast features one of the biggest names in the motorsport aerodynamics world — Andrew Brilliant of AMB Aero.

This conversation is an absolute gold mine of information for anyone who's interested in the aero world — whether you're considering adding a package to your car, wondering why your times have got slower after fitting your new splitters and wings, or even if a career in the field sounds like something you might want to look into.

Based in Sapporo, Japan, Andrew has spent his career designing and testing aero for some of the fastest track cars in the world — including the hyper-secretive world of Formula 1. He is, of course, probably best known for his involvement in the time attack realm, in which he's had a hand in pushing the absolute limits of what's possible through the most dominant vehicles in the game. The best of the best — Scorch Racing's S15, Lyfe Motorsport's GT-R, Gobstopper 3, Black Mamba, and many more — all use AMB Aero's advanced design work to crush the competition and lap records alike.

Over an hour and a half, Andre gets Andrew to break down and explain many of the key principles of aerodynamics, as well as discuss how someone even becomes an aerodynamicist, what makes time attack cars so fun to design for, and just how many seconds racers are leaving on the table by not optimising their aero packages. 

What might be the most helpful, though, is Andrew taking the time to detail the big mistakes that people make when designing and fitting an aero package to their car, and how the vast majority of these mistakes and their consequences could have been easily avoided. 

This episode is a real deep dive into the fascinating world of aerodynamics, and it's essential listening for anyone interested in going faster on track.
