[MVRC] Mantium Virtual Racecar Challenge 2025 (Grand Prix Cars)

[LVDH]

Thanks to "Matteo body", lots of gains comes from the correction of the poorly aligned/designed rear wing profiles so, thanks for that. It's still my profiles, endplates etc. but it made me realize how badly the old one performs after trying yours.

Fantastic, being a poor version of MbS again, when I still raced, I once looked at JJR's profiles and realized how much performance I was missing out on.

Hello, I just double checked my RW endplate geometry and from my perspective is legal. Some areas are on the volume border but as far as I remember there was an update of the scrutineering process which should define such cases as OK.
What are going to be the consequences? Will I have the chance to send updated RW Endplate, for this race, if I get the exact reason for this nonconformity?

The light green in the lower left section of your wing endplate is the reference surface in question. It is quite a lot that can be seen. You might have missed it in your own checks as the rear wheel obscures it pretty much.

2025 MKII:
As the name and the renders suggest, around %90 of the car is brand new. I decided to go with a more conventional downwash/inwash style sidepod on this one. Apart from that; floor, rear wing, barge boards are brand new, front wing is heavily revised. This is also my first formula car that will use a rake angle if my memory is correct. According to my sims, i got around %30 more downforce and around %8-10 more drag. The only worry is about cooling, its around the limits, very little headroom for error.

As always, very cool renders. I think, you deserve a victory just because of them anyways. But you have progressed so much the last years, these numbers sound like they could achieve exactly that.



And, as I hopped to achieve, it is Monday and I have the scrutineering results for you:

• AeroStar Racing: 2.4, 2.5, 11.3

• DK Racing: 2.1, 12.2, 15.1

• HermesMotorsport: 9.1

• Kostov Racing: 11.3

Can i ask some clarification for the rules 2.1 and 12.2 that i broke? Because the car is the same as last time with exception of the ride height and rake (which is possibly that i screwed up given its the only thing i changed).

I found the root cause. My reference surface is most probably older version.
Is it possible to send an updated file for this race?

It is always possible that I overlook something. Just because a car once passed scrutineering it does not guarantee that it is 100% legal.

Last time, you simply did not break rule 2.1. If you scroll down the rules a bit, I even included a screenshot to help understand this one.

With rule 12.2 it is quite clear, the red section should not be visible. I am not sure if it was like this last race.

Sorry, this is not possible, as it would through the organization completely out of whack. I think, this was never possible.

I have a question about the scrutineering too. Did I break rule 9.1 : All bodywork must be fully contained within the supplied legality volumes. Or are there some issues with the rules 9.1.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.3 ? Because today I double checked for rule 9.1 and it seemed like the part was in the legality volumes.

There is a lot of floor coming out of the rear of the pink volume:


The good thing with this race, is that the three of you made very clear and easy to spot violations. I think, there is not much to discuss.

I completely forgot that the race was this weekend, so I missed the deadline despite having a new car sort of ready to go.

Will you re-run my previous entry with the new settings or will that result in a DNS?

In any case, good luck everyone!

Ouch that sucks! I'm almost certain the previous car will be re-run if there was no submission

This season truelly is a season of screw-ups. And yes, you are now simply running an older entry.


I have some cool renders for you:

Wait… where is the other half of my RW
Indeed a season of screwups
The one time I didn’t violate the rules I decided to forget to submit part of my RW. Anyway that wing is perfect for Monza so I don’t have to change the wing for that. On to Monza…

ROUND 3 - THE BRITISH GRAND PRIX

[AeroStarKnight]

Hello Everyone!

Firstly, Congratulations to JJR Racing, CAEDevice, and Phitec Aura for the Podium!
Huge shout-out to CAEDevice for helping me with some technical issues! Congratulations and Welcome Back!
DNF for the first race is heartbreaking, but will bring decent updates by Monza. I was hoping to score some points here, but I guess some points are waiting for me at one of my Favourite tracks.
Double Time for Monza!
Hopefully, I will have enough time for a One-Off special livery for Monza.

[CAEdevice]

Just a tenth of a second, truly a breath.
This time I am where I expetcted to be, so ok, good race, evertything worked perfectly.

Congrats to JJR, once again consistent in delivering high downforce, and to Phitec, who’s starting to look scary (though I knew it).

Well done also to the new teams, including AeroStarKnight: I’m confident that once they sort out their debut issues, they’ll be scoring points at Monza.
