I signed up some time ago and didn't had a lot of time back then.. Now some more time so decided to dedicate it to this project :)

Anyway: folder uploaded! Thanks so far!!!

Edit: i found that i only had wheel 1 and wheel 2 in the front and rear wheel map. Now it struck me that i didn't have wheels at every wheelwell... Changed that now and gonna try tonight what happens now :)

I agree 1000%. Also I think that this kind of Red Bull car would be super cool for our championship. I am still not sure in which direction we should go next year.
As a devoted audience I would love for you guys to move towards reviving the old Group C rules. How would a car built to that rulebook look today?

I am aware of the challenge being a mainly aerodynamic competition, but I think it would be great if the contestants were allowed to choose from 3-5 engines with different dimensions, weight, different size of fuel tank and different cooling requirements. And different amounts of power of course.

Just to be sure: I install blue CFD, extract the two files from the quick-batch file into the main folder of CFD. Right click on the map where my car is in and choose to open/run it in CFD. Type bash runCase.sh and that’s it right?

You right click the case folder and open it with the bluecfd icon.

The in the prompt you type ./runCase.sh

Seems that its working not, at least it’s been running for the last 7/8 hours which is by far the longest it ever did

Is it just running or do you see numbers that make some sense?

Should be the same, unless the script asks for something other than bash I guess.
