Nick's 2013 F1 Car

[N12ck]

Hi all, just thought I would show my 2013 car, it is very simple, but this is for CFD reasons, that there is no point in making something over complex before understanding it all, so I will develop it with CFD and see where it ends up

nice and clean design. Only thing that I don't really like is those huge cascades.

But, you said that you will develope it more so I will wait and see how final version will look like

Yeah, I thought about it, and I thought I would rather keep it clean and simple, start with simple cascades and develop them

what did you use to do the colours and render? looks great

[N12ck]

Kerkythea renderer

how did you do the gills in your rear wing endplates, its the one thing i can't do which gives results

ahh, I have been asked that once before, and I can honestly say, it takes an age, firstly you need to look at current f1 gills in detail to see how they work and what they look like, then I just made a hole, then added a Louver

heres a close up image:

i see you've got your cfd results back, will you post them so we can see the sort of data we will get back?

[N12ck]

Yes I have , the results are good, they no doubt will be put on the website and here, also the laptime round Monaco is good, keep an eye out

Thought I might treat you to a new render, more colours! (I made the gold myself in kerkythea)

[Aussie]

Very nice, but is there supposed to be gold on the wheels??

[Monster_Energy_F1]

I don't think the Gold matches the Black too well in this instance however opinions vary. I like your car and yeah is there supposed to be Gold on the wheels?

I like the gold, but the wheels went wrong for some reason, possibly the shininess I put on the wheels, I will amend it at a later date,
