Aerodynamics 101: Which shape is faster in car aerodynamics?
Because someone had to do it, YouTuber Cal Pal slapped ten different 3D shapes onto go-karts in BeamNG.drive to find out which one cuts through the air like a greasy meatball through spaghetti. We’re talking cubes, cones, spheres, pyramids… basically your middle school geometry class in a demolition derby. The results? Surprisingly scientific. Mildly ridiculous. Totally worth it.

The most aerodynamic cars on the road usually have smooth, curved surfaces to minimize air resistance. But which vehicle moves through the air the fastest if you are limited to simple shapes such as cubes, pyramids and balls? Car Pal, with the physics simulation engine BeamNG.drive, has ten unusual karts against each other to find out which one is best suited. Pure simulation, which might look similar in reality. Such a quadrangle at least can't…
Testing the Most Aerodynamic Shapes for Vehicles
Testing aerodynamic shapes in the real world can be done, but it's a pain. You have to control for any differences in driving surface, weight, wind, drivers, and a dozen other variables that can affect the results. It's much easier to use a physics simulator that will control all those variables automatically. YouTuber Car Pal set up ten vehicles, all with the same weight and mechanics, with ten different shapes atop the chassis to see which one…
