Is this okay?
I afraid if i blend more with the body,it will make the car even chunkier.

why is the afterburner-fighter jet thingy on there? IMO that causes alot of drag by itself. and imo the previous car was way better.

Just out of interest, what program are you using there? I thought F1 in schools uses CATIA?

Tim
In my country,we use Solid Edge.
Some other country use CATIA and Solid Works.
But i prefer CATIA 'cause the software can apply vinyl and colours to the car but Solid Edge is just a plain 3D editing software.
If you have any link to download the CATIA program can you post it?
Thanks
I love my mom

afterburner-fighter jet thingy?
Do you mean the tether line guide?
I cannot remove the thing 'cause the rules and reg say so.
My previous car didn't follow the regs 'cause i missed it when im going through it for the 1st time,and i read the second time then i realize the're rules that i've missed.

have some one show you have to loft and sweet in your CAD program. That will help you blend the car better also the fillet tool would be useful

Im still learning to use this software,the only thing i know is cutout,sketch,duplicate,prostrution, and anything close to that.
About the fillet tool,i'll try learning it as soon as possible.
Even my teacher advisor didn't know much about Solid Edge,so i have to take time learning it by myself

I'll go through it ASAP.
I remake the previous car that have the venturi effect.
Is this okay?
Its kinda chunky and heavy,if i hollowed the bottom of the side pods would it be better to reduce the mass without affecting the aero?

you can do a lot of cleaning up on the design maybe take moment and read back through the older threads on this. You are heading in the right direction I think your CAD skills are the next thing that needs to be improved.

start by adding some fillets to your edges to help blend the bodies of the car together.
