Ok thanks. Then I will not waste my life on that incredibly ununderstandable text. I´m 14 BTW that´s why I find it incredibly difficult to understand it.

Of course people may already know but its just a little heads up
where in the rules did you spot this?? im starting on a 2014 car regardless..

Silverstone GP 2013: Colorful Fluid Dynamics (along with some numbers) pictures are online at http://www.khamsinvirtualracecarchallen ... ne-gp-2013 - see links at the bottom of the page, along with some figures for the 100mph scenario.

[Edit] 3D views require a browser supporting WebGL. I use Chrome. Some of the files are reasonably large and take a bit of time to download.

now those are some cool results pages. I like the graph showing the pressure at different distance down the car. is there any possibility of this for the other races eventually?

Thanks a lot for the comment. Very much appreciated. Can you confirm what you are meaning by "other races"? Are you referring to the previous races and the drag/downforce graphs?

Note: the position 0m corresponds to the front axle.

Great work, as usual. And now we can even have a look at everyone's secrets by any angulation :o
Is there any chance to have 3D views with pressure distribution on the bodywork? ...now that we can see the diffusers, it would be nice to see which one works best [-o<

About the results, it looks like CSR is the winning team of the race, and thus of the championship! ...but let's wait until the official results come out...you never know...

Yes I did mean the previous races. it would aloow us to compare the changes to the cars. I know personally that these results are the only way I can see the affect the changes make.
