Hehe Check My thread and you will see that I'm definitely doing an HRT.

i think it will be a shock for a lot of people that our cars won't be as good as we perhaps think

[RicME85]

Very nearly there. Have spells of working hard on the car and then spells where I just cannot get on with it at all

[astracrazy]

+1 i've learnt now just to do it when i feel like it. When i can't be bothered it always turns out crap and what i just done gets deleted lol

[RicME85]

that exactly how I am.

Ok now I need only some mandatory pieces (mirror, rear crash str, ecc) and lots of downforce

[astracrazy]

congrats mate, start your own thread for the updates?

Don't release too much info on your car yet - remember it is a competition with some great rewards. I'm not releasing mine till end of Jan/Feb

impressive,

This is just an idea that flew through my head, have you thought about starting some sort of forum on the website where people can discuss results, get help about various things etcetera.

[N12ck]

I dont think there are enough people to justify a forum, f1 technical do a brilliant job of that, however a help section could be an idea, the reason this thread exists is to discuss results/ competition

Ok thanks for clarifying.

Almost finished my v2 car with 1 innovative design on the sidepods. I think it's legal.
Also that black cars' exhaust is very similar to my v1 car. My v2 car is less boxy now.

just a reminder, Vanity noses are allowed, so you can cover the step, so basically smooth out the step from the top of the chassis (625mm) to the tip of the nose (550mm)

n12ck i remember that somewhere i read that we have to leave space for the fuel tank.. can you provide an image with a simple draw of the correct placement of engine/gearbox against monocoque/wheels placement? just to be sure I did the car right..
