AlpineF1's 3D F1 car

Post

Yup thats right after the demise of FS i thought i may as well show you the car i was working on. I've brought the project back to life this weekend for fun note the Front wing has been deleted as it was only for show. It has the most basic diffuser ever i ditched the shark fin engine cover and smoothened out my bodywork thanks to endless push/pull follow me work :lol: and i actually have wheels now, here it is

Its unlikely i will post many updates unless people like it.

This update may take a while as i am behind on coursework so i have to complete it at home

The end plates on the inside of the front wing are a wrong way to go imo. They send all the air over the front wing towards the front wheel. I would either move the end plate further outboard, or remove it for regular wingtips
