In motorsport, there’s nowhere to hide as AI becomes new CFD tool
Summary
Ars Technica reports how AI-based physics models are transforming CFD in motorsport, enabling surrogates to run simulations in seconds instead of hours. The piece covers IBM and Dallara's Gauge-Invariant Spectral Transformer (GIST), its ability to match CFD accuracy on a CPU, and how F1 teams like Red Bull are using AI to optimize designs within wind-tunnel and CFD constraints, while highlighting the need for proper data workflows and retraining.
