Hopefully I will be able to resubmit my car after changing it to add outlets a new nose and better sidepods intime. Maybe tonight, if not tomorrow.

How did everyone else create their liveries for their cars? The sketchup design doesn't allow for very good liveries.

I havent really done a livery, Ive just painted sections of the car in Sketchup then rendered in Kerkythea.
You could also then put the renders into Photoshop to add more of a design.

The cars are very good quality, naturally some are better than others, but overall the quality of modelling is quite good, when the results are done (Simulations are underway as we speak) all teams will get a feedback sheet which tells legality issues + data from the tests

I did all with Blender, I used Sketchup only for file conversion.
