AllStaruk08's cardboard F1 car

Radical u-pods! But would they pass a side impact crash test?

[allstaruk08]

wrcsti the idea was to aim them at the aero on the brake ducts.

mx_tifoso im not testing it to see if it does pass haha

[jordangp]

I'm pretty sure that with this choice of material, it wouldn't pass the crash tests

[allstaruk08]

theres that much glue in the thing i bet it would (if you scaled the test down for the size of it) hahaha.

but saying that im not willing to try lol

should have the wing on and maybe paint the thing over the weekend. going to test paint some parts that didn't turn out too good to make sure it doesn't distort the shape.

[allstaruk08]

finally got the rear wing done and glued in place just got to wait for the little piece on the splitter to dry then i can attach the end bit to the bottom of the tub heres a few pics of how it looks at the moment

[jordangp]

looking good, i must say your beam wing looks quite large

[allstaruk08]

yeah its a bit of a beast lol i didn't realise how big it looked till i took the picture, its got quite a steep AOA aswell so maybe the angle of the pic you can see the whole of it and not the angle of the wing if that makes sense :S lol

[allstaruk08]

first coat of paint. maybe i shouldn't have painted it black

[Monster_Energy_F1]

Just wondering, would It be possible to add one of the new "stepped" noses?

[allstaruk08]

i'd have to chop the front off from the front of the cockpit to have a flat top for the step down and im not chopping it up haha
