And it's because I don't like the fact that you don't get real drivers, sponsors ect.
Thats the problem with Formula Sketch, it was too much like Grand Prix World or Football Manager for F1 rather than a proper design competition.

KVRC is going to be so much better just because you will be able to see how your car actually performs and watch it go forwards or backwards through the grid depending on what you do with the design.

Today come the minor updates. Here is my revised Rear Wing, which has new endplates. The endplates are now curved allowing better airflow around them.

Sorry for the bad quality,

Dom

Again; a really small update, but probably aerodynamically significant.
Where there was an imperfection on the front of the nose that has now been rectified.

Again; I can't help the bad quality unless you want the picture tiny.

Finally a small intake has been introduced which feeds directly into the cockpit via a channel/tube to help driver cooling. (The tube is actually there in detail and all, it's just really nifty to show a decent render of it. Sorry.)

Image

So; not the biggest updates, but there will be a Front Wing in the works soon.

Thanks,

Dom

I will continue this project for a long time still. Were there any mistakes/room for improvement?

Thanks for the feedback,

is the rear wing still levitating or is it attached to anything?
good work on the rounding edges, I assume you used one of the many awesome plugins for that?

No plugin at all. :-P Yeah the front wing is still pretty much resting on the gearbox which isn't right I know, but oh well :D
