Apologies
Somehow during my work on the car, the front wing that is necessary to produce downforce went missing. I also wanted to make some modifications to the car. I therefore decided to post an updated version of it. My deepest apologies to those who already started working on this car. Please try this updated version.
Backstory
When I built the original Aquila CR1, I was expecting people to give it wonderful liveries. But the only liveries I ended up seeing are the ones I had made myself. Therefore, I think perhaps a challenge would motivate people making liveries. In addition, due to the introduction of Overload and Custom label, making custom livery couldn't be easier. I hope to see more livery other than the one I had made.
Deadline
Aug 31st
Rules
- Must be a successor to this build or the older version of this build in case you do not wish to redo some of the works. (Unless you wish to build this car from ground up).
- The shape of the car must be maintained as much as possible. The wing should not be changed unless there is a very good reason to do so. The dive plate at front can be added to accomodate for the specific model you are aiming after. The rear diffuser can be changed slightly as well as long as the original shape is kept. (The ruling on diffuser is kept to satisfy the urge to connect the rear diffuser to the bottom chassis plate. I kept them separate due to nostalgia. Feel free to lower the diffuser plate if that is bothering you. )
- Modifying the engine power is allowed as long as the performance remains realistic. This also means any tuning to the suspension is allowed (Like changing the stiffness and damping). However, changing the suspension structure is not recommended due to potential unnecessary complexity.
- Any block added to the car for the purpose of livery must have zero mass and zero drag to not compromise the performance of the vehicle.

@Rocketguy2079 I think I have explained very well in the community post.
What was the top 3 for the challenge?
@Ownedpilot but how do you like it what can I improve
@YoboyTrimix I was away for a while. Sorry for the suspension.
@Ownedpilot I put in my submission i did not get a upvote
time for making some hot liveries
@KSB24 What is the symptom? Did you checked the collision?
@Ownedpilot i think i have completed the livery work, but idk why an weird physics is
**intensifying**. damn.. it was fine until i turnoff the game some hours ago.You should make a car challenge, there hasn’t been one in forever,
@Rocketguy2079 I think so??? There are some difference between this version and the older version which may impact the performance of the vehicle. But since it is a livery challenge, I think I can let it slide. You may need to add a wing piece to the front if you wish to keep the performance consistent. The wing is hidden in the big wedge that defines the slope of the front intake channel. I think the modification on this car is easy enough for you to implement into your own build.
hey @Ownedpilot, just wanted to say I'm using the old version as i have already done a lot. Also is it possible for you to tag me on your builds as well?

Sorry for the ping but I found that I have forgotten something about the car that I would like to change.
