Here's Andre's image with all the times:



The front end of IDADOX looks very plain... Yet he clearly develops good front end downforce...

Thank you guys nad congratulations to IDADOX and Matteo. Im impressed by IDADOX results.
Looks like his car will be verry good in 2nd half of the season.Of course TF car with extreme efficient design will be hard to beat.Looking forward to the rest of season.

I have a one week old son here at home, time is an expensive commodity right now. Let's see if I can tune it down enough.

It's pretty crazy IMO, it's not something I planned for. It just evolved like that. Do you have access to the files?

[machin]

I have the CFD results, but no model or CFD case files... So I can only see what everyone else can see: not much!

It would be fun to open it all come season end, like Andre suggested.

Would also be a big help to those who have very little experience and knowledge. I wouldn't like it to be all open, but more detailed pictures could perhaps be shared at the end of the season

May be a bottom picture?

I had cross sections like the ones in the cfd results in mind

[rjsa]

The x-rays then?

[Alonso Fan]

The x-rays then?

Yeah that would be good

I've got the impression this is the last LMP1 like year. If that's really what's going to happen I'd probably publish unilaterally.

Yes it is possible, but I hope MVRC will be LMP1 based in 2018. There are lots of possible improvements to do about realism (cooling brakes ducts, rotating hx, CoM depending on hx position, ...) and even the more sophisticated cars are far from being completely developed. I would appreciate a Formula layout too (ex. Indycar: imagine a race at Indianapolis!) but I would be bored about a fantasy hypercar.

PS: The intro car model has been created to give a reference to the new teams... and there will be a surprise on the before the end of the season about my low downforce car.

I've been a bit busy with other projects recently, so I don't frequent the forum much, but it does seem a little secretive these days... I liked it when people were a bit more open with the CFD images... Although I understand why everyone wants to keep their designs secret...

[rjsa]

It's got a bit to do with open wheels, doesn't it? There's not much to hide.

I would be more than happy to share my whole car.
If anyone has any questions about how it performs so badly ask away!!!
I do try and share with my blog but getting round to it is another thing, would love to see more details of the cars running the HX out front as I remember trying to do this in the KVRC days but did not have much luck getting the flow and downforce of the pro's.
