The coloured pics above are done just by using the colour palette in Sketchup

Starting to score points on a regular basis now. Looking to push on and get both cars scoring consistently and also to push for higher point finishes.
Thanks to a few new plugins I have been able to tidy up the rear end of the car, giving it a much smaller profile.

Need to work on the exhaust placement then will move onto creating a new rear wing.

Seems that you changed sidepods! may i ask for a close-up¿¿
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work, the car look splendid!

pd: waiting to see where you'll put the exhausts, beacuse those sidepods are not that suited to benefit from coanda effect!

[RicME85]

I was thinking of going down the Ferrari Acer duct route for the exhaust, Ive not really looked into it yet.
I have indeed changed the sidepods, the intake is similar to the last version and obviously the whole sidepod looks less like a speedboat

I think your sidepods are a bit too narrow, also, the cutouts in the bottom of the rear wing endplate, what are they for? as they will only cause disturbance, (i suspect you were trying to copy mclaren and red bull and so on ) however if you look at theirs, it curves outwards and causes increased expansion for the diffuser creating downforce rather than just having cutouts which are not serving any purpose, but other then that, its great

Those cut outs have been on there for AAAAGGGEEESSS. Like I said...new rear wing incoming.
When you say narrow, what do you mean, as in poor for cooling or packaging? If its cooling that isnt an issue as the intake is plenty large enough.

not enough space for the radiators/ exhausts/ kers batteries etc, and I haven't seen the front intake so I cannot comment,

So many ideas, so many new techniques.
Ive got about 3 or 4 different versions at various states of completion.
Yesterday I decided to start from the ground up using some new bits and pieces I have come across online rather than patching new ideas onto an old chassis.

It has way more space than yours

I know my car was completely unrealistic, which fits the championship quite well I thought, but I'm saying if hes after realism then they arent big enough, I know my car wasnt realistic, but as I said, watch out for the next project

Nice work Rich,
Good thinking on those sidepods, loving the Innovo launch-inspired design

Keep up the good work

[RicME85]

ha that isnt actually the design of the intake or anything...its just as far as I had got with the skinning
I have since added the intake from my current spec and fused it in with the new sidepod.
