Alias Designing in the field
is so remote from the cozy space in front of the computer, you would say they are not related especially in large organisations. The process to make a “radical new component assy.” is similar to predicting the next eruption of an extinct volcano; it has been known to happen; however it is rare.
Progressing your own idea is sometimes painful, time consuming with frustration as a side dish.
It starts with an idea that ooze’s into life
then meets “the powers that be” that do the financial and “do we need it” thing, due diligence they like to call it! Then if all the boxes get ticked the project now starts gathering forward momentum. The “New Bit” has a virtual life, a bunch of paper allocated to keep it warm at night and confirmation that it’s alive!
This brings me nicely to Argentina and a positive outcome. Argentina is not synonymous with motorsport or rare volcanic eruptions, but fantastic beef and crazy footballers so when I was asked to go there as a Race Engineer/Aerodynamicist/Alias Designer for the most highly funded touring car team in the world I said si, si, si (not that I knew what that meant) I jumped in the deep end and swum to the bank, mostly because they were paying me well. I had no hesitation until the plane landed, I forgot I spoke zero Spanish and it was 35 degrees in the shade and that my country had recently fought them in the Falklands War.
