Abstract: In the Formula Student China (FSC) competition, the development of aerodynamic kits is a key factor in race performance. In recent years, participating teams have significantly optimized the coefficient of lift (CL) of their aerodynamic kits. This paper presents the design and optimization of the aerodynamic package for the 2025 season race car of the FSC Mengsu Racing Team. The research first establishes core metrics, ensuring the kit's weight does not exceed 10% of the vehicle's total mass while moderately increasing the kit's volume to enhance downforce and aerodynamic efficiency. Next, the Profile software is used to select airfoil profiles, followed by 3D modeling in CATIA. The design solutions include extending the main wing chord length, increasing the number of flaps, and boosting the contribution weight of the diffuser to overall downforce. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation model is then built using Star CCM+, simulating airflow under straight-line and multi-condition scenarios. Through key parameter analysis, the geometric model and meshing strategy are iteratively optimized. After finalization, the kit is manufactured using negative mold and mold closing processes to ensure surface quality meets aerodynamic requirements. The simulation indicates a significant increase in both the total downforce and the CCLa (the CL value after normalizing for frontal area) relative to earlier events, suggesting that this package improves the vehicle's cornering stability at high speeds.
