// Design Question
How will motorsports evolve in next 2 decades to make it more accessible, but remain the same excitement and racing spirit?
// Senario of 2036 / Autonomous Driving With the increasing popularity and developement of autonomous driving, how will we enjoy driving, or even racing in the future?
/ Clean Energy Energy crysis and global warming is becoming a big threat for all human-beings, electric and hydrogen power has a very high potential to power our future.
/ Digital Tech Evolution 21st century is no doubt the century of digital technology as we have seen vast development on internet and personal device in the past decade, it will only be faster, and better in the future. / Generation Z Born in late 90s, by the year 2036, they will domainate the society, how do we introduce our calssic motorsports to this generation that are not that into cars, but more about internet and virtual world?
// Design Research
Extensive design research were carried out during the design process, in which I defined the meaning of racing spirit, problems with current motorsports, explored new technology and social trend that has a potential to solve those problems, also, aerodynamic and an innovative powertrain were explored too.
