AllStaruk08's cardboard F1 car

Post

i saw Paul B's RB6 and 7 and the guy inspired me to actually make the F1 car i designed. now please remember people that this is the first time i'v played with cardboard and glue since i was in junior school about 15 years ago lol. anyways people hope you enjoy looking at the picture and follow the progress of it and i'd love to hear what you think good or bad.

Very nice man! Interesting to see you built something i had discussed in the RB8 thread of using U pods with exhaust mounted at the end of the pods aimed over the tires to try and force air away from the spining tires.
