I built a digital F1 garage to learn how Formula 1 cars work

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of getting together with my dad and uncle on Sundays to watch Formula 1 races. Back then, I was too young to understand the engineering behind it.

Now that I’m approaching 40, I no longer have that excuse. I’m apparently just too dumb to understand it.

So I built a digital garage where you can take apart every major component of a real Formula 1 car. And yes, I’m a Ferrari fan, so that’s the first car I built—but more are coming.

You can learn how each component works, break down the new generation of power units, and take interactive lessons directly on a detailed digital model of the car.

The goal is simple: so people like me don’t feel completely lost the next time a commentator starts talking about aerodynamics, suspension geometry, or energy recovery—or when we watch the next F1 Tech Talk on YouTube.

Can we just stop with the slop websites, please? I’m so tired. I’m not going to read something you didn’t write.

Cry about it. This is a cool idea. If you don't want to read slop, don't. You don't have to announce it.

It clogs up the front page, so actually I do have to read it. You cry about it.

Works and looks awesome!! On mobile clicking in a part doesn't do anything though, as it says in the description it should. (Should be tap on mobile instead of click). Android + Chrome, as reference
