Cottrell's F1 Car [Model]

[CottrellGP]

Like i said the new update will probably contain the new suspension. Which will be a little lower.

This is my launch spec car as well.

Looking great Dan. I like the angry looking suspension in particular. Can't wait to see the finished model.

Be sure to look out for my car later today!

[CottrellGP]

Cheers Dom hopefully get your car sorted soon!

Nice concept!
I'm also in the same game (new challenger for the year), and I wonder a bit about the measurements on the drivers position; do you have him in "default" height or have you picked him up a bit? I can't seem to get my measurements in line with what I read about this years nose regulations and what the cars look like.

Well the driver is a driver from a GP4 mod, and i think you can have your driver were you want but you will have to double check, and thanks for the feedback

Driver position is dependant on your design. As long as your driver is secure in the cockpit, there is no issue. You can have him raised, lowered, more reclined, less reclined, it's design preference.

[CottrellGP]

I thought so, like Ferrari are having a lower driver position, but with my design my driver is sitting higher because of the high cockpit.

More shots, not revealing the testing parts yet and a new rear wing

[jordangp]

Can I ask the reasoning for your wing designs? What is the theory for having the central section placed lower, but not actually increasing the angle of attack?

Also I can see a Ford engine in there... and no fueltank

[CottrellGP]

Just a launch spec wing really, and its just a normal engine now, new side pods tomorrow

[CottrellGP]

These sidepoods will go to the first test and the older version will go to the second test, these new sidepods have a bigger undercut at the front, also the barge boards around that area will be updated.

[CottrellGP]

The car still isn't 100% ready for the tests maybe we can have it ready for Thursday on the good side JEV topped the time sheets in the radical Martini 2011 car!
