Hi all. This is my first post here and I hope that this is the right channel to show my project.

I'm using Google Skechup with modelling and I'm just learning basics about 3D modelling so this is one of my first projects. This is the final version of my work, which has gone through photoshop. It's possible to see work in progress pictures if you want so.

The project itself is a formula one car for season 2013, and I tried to do it as realistic as possible. I'm not living with the exact truth with rules, but I hope it could be seriously taken.



All kind of feedback is more than welcome!

Very cool. Have you run CFD with Khamsin?

I would love to see the step by step images illustrating the progress of the car construction .I would be grateful if you put them forward to my mail. Thanks in advance. BTW the car has a tiny gearbox and an interesting triangular hot air exit at the back .

Yeah this, I've been working in Solidworks and Inventor but I still can't get the modelling fully nailed especially with time constraints of placement/uni so I'd be hugely grateful to see your breakdown

very nice!

beam wing could be a bit higher though...

Thank you!

I'm not going to run it in CFD. I think that my car doesn't pass the requirements (stepped nose etc.)

Here are some step by step pictures:
