The renderings are improving race by race, cool.

Thanks! I appreciate it! One small detail though, I was actually aiming for a golden look instead of the orange one on the front and rear wings and the mirrors also. Though this one might be on me as I don't really recall the color I submitted when I registered the team.
I know, you have other colors in your registration, I simply used what I saw in your released renders. I can change it for the next one.HermesMotorsport wrote: ↑30 Aug 2023, 20:08Thanks!

Oh ok! Thank you!I know, you have other colors in your registration, I simply used what I saw in your released renders. I can change it for the next one.
Thanks for noticing. The new light setup was what I worked on the most. I especially like the view from the rear, there you can see that there is now more than one light.
I confirm low drag setup. After submitting the car I could further reduce Cd.A by 0,05... but it was too late and I am happy with drag anyway. I wish I had gained a bit more efficiency... Monza might have been my only possibility to win a race this year.variante wrote: ↑01 Sep 2023, 11:28It amazes me that only a few teams (G-Raph, Hermer, Variante and maybe CAEdevice) went for a lower drag setup.
Max Taylor's simulator suggests massive gains with that (which is reasonable). And yet, even Max didn't choose that path
If that's the case, G-Raph seemingly nailed the setup, which is not promising for me.
Maybe i could and should have shaved another CD 0.05 off my rear wing. But i should be in the right ballpark anyway.
My car had quite a bit lower drag than most of you to start with, so I decided to just keep looking for downforce. My simulations showed that I might just be able to sneak ahead Koldskaal for a Monza podium, but with a lot of you opting for special low drag setups that may not be possible now. We'll see...
I've made quite a habit of completely redesigning my cars race on race, but I think this might the first car that I will keep the concept fairly consistent. Depending on how the long simulations go this car should have a lot more performance, although I was disappointed with the lack of gains I had with the longer simulation in the last race.
That is an interesting approach to Monza...spacehead3 wrote: ↑01 Sep 2023, 13:49My car had quite a bit lower drag than most of you to start with, so I decided to just keep looking for downforce.

Same thinking for me, having (hopefully) fixed the cooling just in time and sticking with my already low drag, I was just leaving out some of the high downforce developments.spacehead3 wrote: ↑01 Sep 2023, 13:49My car had quite a bit lower drag than most of you to start with, so I decided to just keep looking for downforce.

Same as Max really, I was already 15-20pts of drag lower than the front runners so focused on finding a bit more performance without adding drag(potentially reduced) as well as getting cooling and CoP spot on. For me that was worth more time than shedding another 10pts of dragvariante wrote: ↑01 Sep 2023, 11:28It amazes me that only a few teams (G-Raph, Hermer, Variante and maybe CAEdevice) went for a lower drag setup.
