Here's my entry for the finale of 2024. It's been a lot of fun developing this car over the last few weeks, and I think I'm just that little bit off of the midfield pack, but the RustedGP car has drastically jumped up in performance over the last week or so. Some little issues here and there on the car that I could've fixed with more time and my inferior CAD skills cost me a lot of time fixing errors in the process. But I'm very happy with the gains and I've learned a lot about aerodynamics. :D

I ran around 45 simulations and practically every part on the car has changed since Monza. I passed the 5cl barrier in MVRCfast, so hopefully the car is even better in the official simulations.

The extra 48hrs helped a lot with some finishing touches... (and finding some loopholes...)
(BTW to LDVH, i think my latest submission (RustedGP_R5_v3) went to the backup Dropbox. The MVRC cloud only has the (RustedGP_R5_v2) because I made some late changes and V2 barely uploaded before 12UTC so I couldn't upload V3 on the cloud)


Anyways, some renders :

Looks to me as if Koldskaal was the most innovative for the final race of the year.

There must be details hiding somewhere I can't see then, Koldskaal's looks identical to the car submitted for Monza when comparing images on the website.

I'd also like to take a chance to thank you once again for running everything this year. I'm sure it takes a lot more effort than most imagine.

I'm looking forward to a new rule set and an ever increasing grid for next year!

Maybe I did not look at it close enough last race, or I forgot.
Shockwave also sports some interesting details, just mot sure if you can see them.

It does take a lot of effort, so good to hear.

I think your wishes will come true next year.
