I'm still impressed by the performance of your car during the last 2015 race and I tryed to animate the forum... consider it a compliment. Anyway, I am hungry too.

Well done Talno. Your engine intake is a concept I would like to test.

My MP003 (that you can find on grabcad) is very different in the nose area, and has a front diffuser istead of a double profile wing.

The intro class will be an interesting challenge. If I were you I would try to optimize the airfoils (starting from standard naca profiles).

It would make things slightly easier for us if you submit the whole car, but it's OK if you want to continue submitting a half-car.

ok so when submitting the whole car are we submitting with hx-shape-1 for left or right hand side?

I believe we will need to use the fallback method for K4.1 option 2, so the rulebook is out of date on this point. You should submit the 2 front faces of the heat exchangers as one part, and the 2 rear faces as another part (similar to how the cooling inlet and outlet surfaces are submitted). The name doesn't matter for now.

so we are submitting the following if we have modeled the cooling ducts

body
wing-front
wing-rear
cooling-intake
cooling-exhaust
engine-intake
engine-exhaust
hx-front
hx-rear
parts-offset.txt

Yes, that's correct if you are using K4.1 option 2.
