G'day folks, I hope you are all staying safe and avoiding politicians like the plague, or a plague anyway.
You may have worked out that I am somewhat of a petrol head and general car fanatic.
Essentially a stripped out racer for road circuits and informal circuits. Nothing extravagant engine wise, a 1.6 litre flat four with a footprint of 132" X 66" with not much in the way of weight should give reasonable shove and all round disc brakes should stop it well for the twisty bits. This is still a WIP but I like to render to check for body alignment etc. The inboard front wheel arch shows an extension towards the cabin with an opening outboard for dissipation of heat from the braking system. I would usually have a bonnet opening to extract air from the front splitter which can add to downforce and improve steering at high speed (Reduces wandering especially in sidewind situations).
Still early doors and the design is already different from the version you see here but the next render is still cooking, any and all comments/criticism welcome. Thanks folks. Note, I have not used a studio because it is so early and I am just checking panels etc.
