Sorry guys, don't kick my ass to hard
Nick sent me a great quality image, however I must say I did muck it up. As I said before sponsors still need to be worked out but again all down to me. Here is the revamped version:

You did a 2013 livery, before you have sponsors, and their requests or even a 2013 car?!?!

This is a mock up Andy..
If you didn't notice this is a whole new car, from scratch barely ANY carryover and by me. What's the issue?
New car, new livery; to me that makes sense.

lets see some details what is your mesh size?
How many iterations per car?
How far are you off from convergence?
Are you simulating rotating tires and a moving road or just setting the ground plane to zero friction?
As Nick said it takes a few days on what I assume was a pretty coarse mesh. With the number of winglets multi plane wings on these cars you could spend a week getting a good mesh.

yes Flynfrog, you are right, but mine is done on a fairly powerful computer compared to a regular computer so I can get finer meshes, but the problem is with sketchup, it gets to a stage where you can make your mesh finer but it doesnt make any difference because of the fasitization on sketchup models themselves,
I have to say the thing I expect to happen are 1 of 2 things: photoshopped image, or he will download the program,find out how to export it from sketchup,start to run a simulation on it, after spending all day working out how to use it, printscreen a picture of it starting to run, and then claim he has ran CFD on it,
