This is an awesome looking car if you want to build a kick ass track day / race car!
Enjoy

Excellent site!!

I downloaded the whole 3d model some weeks ago, and it has been really helpful for me.

The design is complete, so you can use it as a reference when you have run out of ideas... In addition, it has 3 different upright design, with 3 different calipers wheels and tyres, so it presents more than one solution to different problems.


Thanks for posting!

Has anyone built one?

I'd be surprised since the paneling expense moves the project out of the low-cost category.

I am going to say I also think building a high downforce car is a just plain bad idea. Why would you do that? I don't see any upside for the average builder. If you compete in a class that requires it, well now you're a professional anyway so this car doesn't apply.

I don't see any upside here. Just more ways for people who don't know how to drive to kill themselves...

lol...yeah I agree, curiosity gets the best of me from time to time is all.

Outside of the downforce not being a good idea, I'd be curious about the upright designs and if any of them would be appropriate for us or at least be a place to get some ideas to adjust...
