Transforming Racing Car Aerodynamics with AI-CAE RICOS and Toyota Gazoo Racing Development Begin Strategic Validation

RICOS Co. Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yu Ihara) has entered into a outsourcing agreement with Toyota Gazoo Racing Development Co., Ltd. (TGR-D) to validate the application of machine learning to racing car aerodynamic analysis.

■ Overview
RICOS will apply its proprietary AI-CAE technology to support aerodynamic development in motorsport. By enabling high-speed predictions through machine learning, the collaboration aims to address the heavy computational demands of traditional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and significantly shorten development cycles.

■ Key Highlights
Accelerated Analysis:
Substantial reduction in computation time while maintaining simulation accuracy.

Proprietary Algorithm “IsoGCN”:
A physics-informed machine learning algorithm capable of capturing complex 3D geometries and delivering high-fidelity predictions, even for new designs.

Expanded Design Exploration:
Faster iteration cycles allow broader design exploration and optimization within shorter timeframes.

Through this validation, RICOS aims to advance a future where optimal performance can be designed almost instantly, even in the demanding environment of motorsport.
