Nice job already ! Which soft are you using ? Inventor ?

But it looks a lot like the Red Bull, you should try something more original/wild ?

But with an engine half as wide the radiators can be places futher into the center line of the car...hence SMALLER radiator openings. Brawn style air inlet behind the drivers head maybe enought to cool turbo oil cooler. Smaller block will mean volume of water flowing through will travel around twise as fast if the pump is maintained at the same flow rate. Also if the air box is spilling enought air to power an f-duct last year, then there will be plenty of left over air to cool the block/kers unit ect.

If theres a minimum weight requirement of the 1.6 turbo engine you may even see cooling fins on the engine for air cooling as well as water and oil.

Also why not use the turbo to power the neumatics & hydralic system. will lower spool up time but will greatly reduce volume of engine and auxiliarys. I dont even know if this is possiable BUT again. your all asuming it HAS to be that way.. i've said it once and i'll say it again. Behind every aero idea, is a mechanical part small enough that allows it to happen

P.s this is all assumtion but, if i do say so myself, i think there worth considering

Put another couple of hours in. Getting a little better with the tools.



I appreciate all the comments I've gotten. I had been basing this on the dimensions of the RB6 But I haven't been able to find a top-down picture of the car so I improvised with a Ferrari top view. Unfortunately It fooled me due to the different lengths and wheelbases of the two cars. I've since switched to the Toyota '09 car. This is more of a styling exercise that a technical drawing, though I'm trying to keep it close to the regs.Front wing and wheels are temp items just to give a sense of proportion.

This is done in Blender 3D http://www.blender3d.org A pretty nice tool that's free. Unfortunately It currently only works with 3 and 4 point polys which makes some shapes harder to get smooth.
