UTC trackday Racing Car [Update V2]

3,835 P7VDS  1.9 years ago

Link to original (V1): https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/3GPyVk/UTC-trackday-Racing-Car

A realistic racing car with lots of functional aerodynamic and downforce features, special extra stiff racing suspension and full cockpit now with safety halo.

I've spent a lot of time tweaking small aspects of the performance and handling, and making the car visually more spectacular. The wheelbase is shorter then the V1 for sharper steering and more stability at lower speeds. Also I've added a halo to make it more modern.

Pitch - accelerate
Yaw - steer
Ag1 - DRS

In my opinion this is the best car I've made yet in handling and realism. Thanks for checking it out and enjoy racing!

    Well @P7VDS just take your time, simple planes is nowhere the most important thing in life so just take your time and focus on your real life not an online one.

    Hey! Wow, you've gone like Verstappen at Spa with your points mate! Congrats!
    Im currently having a real busy period irl. I usually play sp when i have the time and can finish a build in a single go (which still usually takes a few days). Might have some more time soon though.
    Also right before my break a i did a replica of an Oreca chassis LMP2 Le Mans car which is pretty much ready to upload. Its one of my biggest builds though so i want it to be perfect!

    Good looks, amazing handling and super grip. One of the closest things to a perfect f1 car.
