[CottrellGP]

Emails have been sent - hopefully.

I have received mine Julien.

i've got both of mine but yet to test my log in works

mister x:
i think this is just for uploading our models to by the submission dates for each gp

nick:
any news on the apparent 50mm error with the tub position regarding wheel base? are you gonna keep it as it is? or allow a 50 mm allowance in wheel base to cover for those who have built to the error and those who have built there own tub so won't have the error (if that makes sense)

Hi
Does anyone know the ordinary size of a radiator that the teams put in the sidepods?
I just want to know so I can make the sidepod sizing realistic.

Ok!

So where can I download the tub? Will I be emailed?

thanks

The dimensions I used on my test car were 280mm x 580mm

Looking at the Codemasters MP4-27 the radiator is roughly 200mm x 1000mm

[Markus]

Ok so between 300x600 to 300x1000.

mister x:
yes they are e-mailed to you

ricme
cheers for those sizes, ave to check they fit in mine lol

its better to look at it in area so you can do the dimensions how you want, so say 180000 mm2?

Hi can anyone send me the download link to openFoam and gnuplot, I am unsure what files im suppose to be downloading.

Thanks Dan

Will the cars be tested with zero rake?

[astracrazy]

yes it is, it uses the stock suspension so it has 0 rake

What about helmet? will you use it in CFD? If so, can you provide it like the wheels?

[astracrazy]

as far as i'm aware a helmet isn't being used, i think the cockpit is just being blocked up

nick, any more races than just the 3

How are we going to know if our cars are legal or illegal, i have tried to stick to the regs but i may be out with one or two small things?
