Reject (or not) car design

Postby tzerof1 » 12 May 2012, 01:46

The idea for this thread, I will admit, is directly inspired by tommykl's thread "Reject (or not) track design. But instead of designing your own racing circuit, you design your own F1 car and post the designs here. Not sure if this will really catch on with the rest of you but I thought I'd give it a shot.

So I'll start off with a car that I finished designing in April.

I'm no Adrian Newey, so hopefully you all will forgive the rather primitive front wing and diffuser. And for the record I used Siemens SolidEdge ST4 to design the car. And I also tried to follow the Technical Regulations as best as I could, but this car probably still wouldn't pass scrutineering. And having said that, go design. :)

EDIT: Also I should add that anything goes, any era of F1 design, and any other things you want your car to have. F-ducts, periscope wings, double-deck diffusers, anything you want goes.
