Formula Sena Eco is a competition of innovation and technological development teams in charge of consolidating regional level for the design, construction and testing of racing vehicles type formula. This research studies the aerodynamic behavior of the electric vehicle Scuderia Regional DCM Bogota, incorporating a front wing. Therefore, the ultimate purpose of the study is to show the selection of a front spoiler with the best lift / drag (L / D). To make the selection, the numerical and computational analysis of different airfoils starts, which will be tested on a geometric design spoiler; finally results drag coefficients (Cd) and lift (Cl) obtained on CAD vehicle designs are presented.
