I understand, I actually corrected the version of paraview after review. I didn't mean to make your question seem illegitimate. I'm not 100% percent certain I've installed correctly but I've reinstalled everything 2X, was hoping there might be another error I'm not considering is all.

Thanks again,

I had a similar problem last year. Installed Paraview 3.98.0 which solved the problem for me.

Pleased to share with you my first race car build and my 2016 KVRC Challenger.

Some features are missing but this will be the foundation of my 2016 competition chassis. Also note details around the wheels and headlights are for render purposes only. I'll be moving into a heavy testing and refinement phase until the first race. Stay tuned for updates.

Thanks,
SR71

Impressive! It looks like the Hybrid Porsche. Very good modeling!

Thanks! I wanted a low drag body and looked to the Porsche as my north star.

Which software are you using? Maybe NX/Catia or Blender/3ds?

I too have been studying areas of the 919 LMP.
Going by SR17's car it looks like the competition just got tougher!

Cool: looks awesome. I must admit one of my mates asked me if I'd seen the latest Renault F1 car and I had to say I'd missed it: I'm way more interested in seeing the 2016 KVRC cars!

Excellent car, SR71! Everything looks well designed (the livery too!). I'm very curious to see how that LMP body is going to perform.

However, you might need more downforce (front DF, especially), as the tracks we're going to race on require mainly efficiency rather than low drag. Actually, for the first two rounds, we need loads of downforce only...

Same here...
And this is a very nice looking car. I think we need some more images from other perspectives.

This years KVRC should get very competitive. Maybe I have to get started as well. How many others are already designing and testing?

I would be good to see the list of the teams updated on the official website.

I'd like to think I have a few tricks up my sleeve with regards to adding downforce :-)

I dont think these views give away any of my secrets and adding wing is something I've planned for, whether it works or not is yet to be tested.

I'm actually having a hard time getting ahold of Julien with regards to my One-Click errors, if anyone has his direct email I'd appreciate a PM.

Thanks,
SR71

The renders were done in Keyshot, Solidworks is not my favorite for visualization of models.

Does anyone know if the the one-click works on Windows 10?
