(KVRC) Cottrell Motorsport CM3

Post

Hi Guys been wanting to upload my car on here for a few days for people to take a look at! Here is its! Its is no where near finished, still needs a new nose, front wing, rear wing, diffuser and all the other small aero pieces, the main sidepods and engine cover will stay the same with some tweaks. This is my third year designing a car and every year they get smoother and a little bit better (hopefully)! Enjoy my posts i look forward to the helpful criticism along the way.

the cooling hole you have on the engine cover would be classed as illegal though if its within the yellow boxes..

I'm quite sure that for the next race the first place will be reserved to CSR and Variante, but then...

Nice smooth car. The sidepod tapering is aggressive - does it meet the rearward sectional area (50000mm^2 I think)?
