A very proud moment for me this morning in Paris. We've been hunting a Gold Medal at the Olympics on one of our bikes since the Pista Evo 2 in London 2012.

The Pista Team, Pista Team Sprint and Pista Team Pursuit were launched in Rio 2016 with the Men's Sprint Team missing out on Gold by 0.1s in the Final. Cycling NZ raced them again in Tokyo 2020 and now in Paris 2024.

There have been a number of World Championships, Olympic medals, Commonwealth Games Gold medals for the bikes but never an Olympic Gold. The last Gold for NZ in the velodrome being in Athens in 2004.

Ellesse Andrews you have made us very proud rounding out the story of these bikes last night in the Women's Keirin with Gold on the Pista Team or as we called it Project Cambridge.

An exciting new product that we designed for startup Sea Turner and launched at the Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show this year. Sea Turner is a revolutionary way to load and store dinghies on boats and vehicles. With a push of a button, your dinghy is lifted and loaded or deployed in less than a minute. When secured, Sea Turner keeps your dinghy compactly stowed upside down, preventing water and debris collecting and out of the way of everyday boating activities. Fully electric operation so no heavy and complex hydraulic systems like existing solutions. Check them out www.seaturner.com and get in touch with Kinetic Sim for all your product design needs!

We've also been working on getting the Race Lab V8 engine design and mounting together. We've developed new gear covers and cam covers to hard mount the engine in the chassis.

Heaps going on with the Race Lab E21 DTM/GT3 build. The centre body being prepared for moulds, front beams and suspension fabricated and 3d printed parts all being test assembled for checking.

With the Christmas break quickly approaching and things starting to wind down we wanted to offer up our services over the holidays. We are working through and have resource to take on some projects if you really don't want to wait till late January to get some projects moving. Or even if you have a project on and need some extra support through the break. Everything from CAD design, product design, CFD simulation, general aero design and advice, FEA and structural design. Any project big or small! Send me an email [email protected] and we can get things done!

An exciting project we have been working on developing a new aerodynamic package for a stunning BMW E46 M3. A couple of plots from the existing cars baseline analysis. This is going to be one rapid racecar when its all done!

Good luck to the SBT Motorsport McLaren 650S GT3 at the Highlands 6 Hour. They are on pole for the big race with the Kinetic Simulation developed aerodynamic updates!

Great to be involved with Vélos Advancements designing their stunning new road bike. We can't wait to see this bike come to life 😎 A collaboration process we have thoroughly enjoyed.

All the ‘aero’ as they say. A few of our clients cars over the years. There is so much improvement to be gained by proper analysis and even more importantly designing to the rule book!

A throwback to the Remraf Racing R35 GTR from the NZ Endurance Series 😍 Get in touch if you want to find some more speed from your racecar or are thinking about starting a new build! Email us at [email protected]

We are forging ahead with the design of the Race Lab E21. The Dome Racing Team / 童夢 carbon chassis is nearly ready to ship from Japan and drawings/plugs for composite parts are being sent out for machining. Exciting times :)

I had a good ol chat to Andre at High Performance Academy about cars and design. Have a listen.

Massive news on the Race Lab E21 BMW project! We have teamed up with Dome Racing Team / 童夢 to use a custom version of their GT300 carbon chassis as well as Hewland Engineering Ltd to use their DTM/Super GT GT500 transaxle in the car.

As well as these huge architectural changes to the car we are also developing a new V8 engine based off the Nissan VK45DE block. A big development which has meant a huge re-design of the car.

But things are moving quickly now and we are full steam ahead with orders placed and design and manufacturing powering ahead. Exciting times for racecar engineering in New Zealand!

The Race Lab E21 BMW project has come along in leaps and bounds and the CAD model assembly is mostly finished. Now comes the fun part of bringing this unique and detailed design to life. Cannot wait!!

A massive congratulations to the Cycling NZ team at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham over the weekend. Proud to have designed the bikes underneath you that resulted in an amazing medal haul and so many Games Records!

Nice work SBT Motorsport 👍

The work on the Race Lab E21 BMW has been progressing really well and we are getting very close to the car really taking shape on the chassis table. The details on this car and the packaging has been a massive challenge but is all really coming together. Follow the progress over at the Race Lab FB page and here.
