Monster Energy Racing - MER-VW1[Model] Launched

Just made some "things" which prolong the airflow from the splitter a bit further up to the sidepods. Forgot it's name, does anybody know?

[jordangp]

Those "things" are called bargeboards.
Your front endplate fin is directing airflow the wrong way.
And there are many things you can do to increase rear downforce, mainly your diffuser reprofiling.

Thanks Andy ,

Which fin are you talking about?

[jordangp]

Well the fin thats flowing inwards, in the middle, where the other 2 are flowing outwards. Your aim really is to direct airflow around the tyre, amongst other things.

Oh, yh, I will definately change that, my bad

Can you go on MSN?

Really cool update there!

As for the front wing and other parts, you should take a look at cars from other teams, as these would be agreat example how things are done and with a basic understanding of aerodynamics you can really make improvements.

P.S. I added you on msn(or the other way around), but it seems one of us havent got the invitation.

I can tell you your car is illegal straight away, look at the size of the front wing, 1800mm (no part of the car can be outside this) and your wheels are miles further out

You're only 12 years old? Wow thats impressive. Keep up the good work!

I told you that your endplate isnt very good Dom, i also sent you the pic of the CFD i done on it.

I think the wheels are in the right place, however the front wing is not wide enough, I can tell it doesn't fit into the dimensions anyway.

I knew something was wrong with it

[Monster_Energy_F1]

Thank you for the feedback Gentlemen.
The FW is legal, the wheels are fine, and the endplate has been sorted out.

Wesley, the invite hasn't come through, Dan, I didn't get the picture, and thank you RMVR, much appreciated

[jordangp]

That front wing definitely isn't legal, because straight after the central section, you have that triangle area in plan view, and yours can't possibly fit into that.

I knew it!

Andy, can you send me the starter pack please to make sure everything is legal?
