Leanders Drag Racing - High performance cars with IRONCAD and 3D CAD

‍

Drag racing is one of the world's fastest motor sports, with cars capable of over 3500 horsepower and accelerating from 0-100 km/h in less than a second. To design these extremely fast cars and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry requires the most advanced and flexible CAD tools available.

Leanders Dragracing is one of Europe's most awarded drag racing teams and their car set a new record in 2003 with a time of 5.666 seconds over 400 meters. The team is constantly modifying and improving its race cars to stay at the top of their game, both in the comfort of their workshop and on the track at races around Europe.

The choice of IRONCAD for 3D car design

To develop and modify high-performance drag racing cars, Leanders Dragracing uses IRONCADa 3D CAD system with high flexibility and ease of use. IRONCAD allows the team to make fundamental changes to components on-the-fly and quickly test different "what-if" scenarios based on information they receive directly from the track.

This means that designers can analyze and improve the performance of cars in real time, which is crucial to winning in the extremely competitive world of drag racing.

Efficient and safe car development

Ulf Leanders, Team Manager at Leanders Dragracing, explains:

"There is a lot of secrecy in some areas of car development right now. IRONCAD gives us the ability to develop and design parts that we then manufacture in-house. This eliminates the need to send away sensitive data that could compromise our competitive advantage."

By using IRONCAD , the team can work confidently on sensitive design tasks while maximizing performance and innovation on their cars.

Flexibility and speed - keys to success

IRONCAD's flexibility allows Leanders Dragracing to make rapid design changes, test different concepts and optimize high-performance components without delay. The rapid design process means the team can react instantly to new insights from races and improve their cars continuously.

Thanks to this digital work process, Leanders Dragracing:

• Modifying car components on site at races
• Conduct "what-if" simulations for different performance scenarios
• Maintaining confidentiality and security of design data
• Reduce time from idea to finished car component

Results - faster, safer and more competitive

With IRONCAD , Leanders Dragracing has been able to maintain its position as one of Europe's fastest and most award-winning drag racing teams. The integrated 3D CAD solution enables continuous improvement of cars, faster decisions on the track and a more efficient construction of high-performance race cars.

The team's focus on innovation, performance and safety has allowed them to deliver extremely fast cars, remain competitive and continue to set records in drag racing.

Summary

Leanders Dragracing shows how 3D CAD and IRONCAD can be used to develop high-performance drag racing cars. Through flexibility, speed and secure data management, the team can modify and optimize their cars continuously, both in the workshop and on the race track. The result is record-breaking cars, an efficient design process, and a team that continues to be a leader in motorsport's most extreme discipline.
