Haa, it`s so funny that I desided to make another pair:)
Ok, seriously now, I used more rounded shape based on the bridgestone profile to add more realistic look to the car.

Hi,

good work. How long did it take to make that?

Since you asked about the legality of the rear wing, I have taken a brief look. The mention of the 2 closed section rule is invalid here, as in the central part that is not taken into account. The middle 15cm allow any number of sections.
Second, as of this year the sections of the rear wing must be straight. The dropdown towards the middle of the wing is no longer legal.

Thanks to reply. I had a look to the regulations too. So basically all you said is written in rule number 3.10.2. But where is straight rear wing rule coming? Also ferrari rear wing dosen`t look straight at all.

I know the diffuser is illegal, but I had this idea in math class and I drew few sketches that looked cool so I decided to make it anyway

way to headrest then have gills on the engine cover to exit unwanted
pressure?

They say, future is like walking in past. I was looking some old pictures and thought that FW26 like front wing could work quite well on 2010 car . It connects nicely with my H-shape chassis.

But I have to say it still looks weird.

Williams adopted that nose as it was the ebst aero option to wowrk with the dual keel concept they were running.

Problem was they never got the car stable under braking, and dropped it accordingly.

Most of the 2009 cars have a front nose that is high to allow the max air under the chassis and channelled to the DDD.

The car looks great, but I'm not digging the return of the walrus, goo goo j'goob. :)
