In this investigation CFD simulations are utilized for the aerodynamic redesign of a Toyota Corolla EE80 intended for racing activities in asphalt. The objective is to improve the performance of the car through an increase of the tyre friction force without causing a power consumption that would limit a maximum speed of 150 km/h. In order to reach this objective, five redesigned models of the body are presented and the results from the simulations in each model are compared with the ones from the base model and between them to choose the most appropriate. The results of the study indicate that in all the redesigned models not only the original lift is diminished but also that the configurations create downforce, which is directly translated to an increase in the friction force in the tyres. The car configuration with the biggest production of downforce was the one featuring a rounded edge splitter with -432,36 N, indicating an overall increase of 838,092 N in comparison to the original model. Due to this result, the tyre friction force showed also an increase in 922 N. With respect to the generated drag, the values obtained from all the modified models were within the range of power that the engine could use and not hinder a 150 km/h maximum velocity. In this sense, the model that produced the highest drag force was the model using small splitters in the cavities of the front wheels with 633,81 N. In comparison, the model that generated less drag where the first modification with 611,942 N. Specifying the power consumption, the model using small splitters introduce an increase of 1,647 kW and the first modification model only 0,709 kW, each one with respect to the standard model. Due to the big increase in the tyre friction force and the small introduction of power consumption, the fifth model, the one featuring a rounded edge splitter, was chosen to be the most suitable for this vehicle.
