congrats mate, start your own thread for the updates?
Don't release too much info on your car yet - remember it is a competition

with some great rewards. I'm not releasing mine till end of Jan/Feb

This is just an idea that flew through my head, have you thought about starting some sort of forum on the website where people can discuss results, get help about various things etcetera.

I dont think there are enough people to justify a forum, f1 technical do a brilliant job of that, however a help section could be an idea, the reason this thread exists is to discuss results/ competition

Almost finished my v2 car with 1 innovative design on the sidepods. I think it's legal.
Also that black cars' exhaust is very similar to my v1 car. My v2 car is less boxy now.

just a reminder, Vanity noses are allowed, so you can cover the step, so basically smooth out the step from the top of the chassis (625mm) to the tip of the nose (550mm)

n12ck i remember that somewhere i read that we have to leave space for the fuel tank.. can you provide an image with a simple draw of the correct placement of engine/gearbox against monocoque/wheels placement? just to be sure I did the car right..
