Course Instructor
Martin Buchan
- F1 Aerodynamics Design Engineer
Having worked in F1 as an Aero Designer Engineer, Martin now spends his time directing his very own Buchan Motorsport, providing a range of Motorsport products and services.
Alongside a degree in Automotive Engineering from Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (Bavaria), Martin was selected for the Junior Engineer Programme at Audi AG where he would fulfil multiple roles across different disciplines. Upon graduating, Martin stayed with Audi working as a Design Engineer.
In 2016, Martin moved to England to study for an MSc in Advanced Motorsport Engineering at Cranfield University, completing a Thesis with McLaren Applied Technologies. Upon graduating, Martin landed a job at Force India F1 team (now, Aston Martin F1) as an Aerodynamic Design Engineer, before founding Buchan Motorsport in 2020.

Shane KenyonRead More
An extremely well thought out but fast-paced course to bring you up to creating any parts you can imagine in CATIA. Being able to design alongside an F1 Engineer, have thorough technical discussions, and having a group to improve with made this course so incredibly worth it. I am not sure of anywhere else where you can get this level of training and exposure that is so specific... not to mention the CATIA license.
David NevaRead More
An outstanding and super complete course during which the foundations of the design of aerodynamic parts in Formula 1 are laid. Martin (the instructor) adapts to each person's experience and makes an effort to ensure that you do not have any doubts to resolve at the end of every class. Furthermore, you learn tools that allow you to delve into the CAD design of practically any part of a racing car. It has been an intensive experience that I have enjoyed week after week, and I can confirm my expectations have been incredibly exceeded.

Having never learned CAD before, the CAD CAP course was perfect for me to learn and develop my skills as a hopeful engineer working in motorsport. Martin was a great instructor who taught us not only the best methods and techniques when working in CATIA but also great insights and career advice for us looking to work in the motorsport industry, which ultimately helped me land my dream placement at Visa Cash App RB (Formerly AlphaTauri).
As a student enrolled to our courses you will have access to our exclusive Community forums. You will be able to ask questions to your course instructor and start threads and discussions in our forums!
