I have had the chance to speak to a well known F1 aero engineer about MVRC and did some deep investigations into your cars after that and now know there is still a lot of performance you guys can extract out of your cars.
Cool!
Any tip to improve? You can't just tease us like that!
Looks like I can.
It did quite thorough investigations. I was surprised to see that increasing the mesh resolution a lot did not at all change the results. This is not as good as it might sound though. I think that because of the low resolution there are not many parts on your cars that could profit from a mesh refinement.
Something else that was cool, is I took the best body, front and rear wings from all teams over the races to build the ultimate car. It was surprisingly bad. This showed me how much you guys seem to have optimized the parts to work as a team.

So when it comes time to submit, I can just submit each of the separate parts in folders as the website specifies? Do I need to submit a final model with everything assembled together?
Yupp, just the folders with all the separate parts and without the mandatory parts such as wheels and so on.

Also, how would I go about putting the mandatory parts in the "supplied position" (I'm using inventor or should I use a different Cad software). Another question, when I open the mandatory parts in inventor, they are absurdly small, for example the width of the engine is about 20mm. I'm guessing something is wrong since one of the rules states we cant make parts smaller than 10mm?
The engine is indeed a bit larger, you will have to figure out how to import the parts correctly into your CAD system. Usually the people here are quite helpful, you are not the first with this problem.
We already have a good number of teams registered, there is now even one from Germany.
