Lotus 49B V1.1

690 LoonySoup  2.8 years ago

A Lotus Formula 1 car from the 60's! Still in progress, but driveable already with adjustable downforce and weight balance. There are ballasts(dark blue) on the underside of the car that are able to adjust the weight balance (through the dead weight's configuration) for diferent setups, it's recommended to keep the car's weight at around 1600 Kg (~3527 lbs). The car was made to be at the right scale for the Gold Prix Raceway (considering that the starting/finishing line is 45m in width and the car is approximately 1.8m in width, if we take the Silverstone circuit as reference, which is 15m in width, the car should be 3X it's original size and specifications). Pitch for acceleration and Roll for steering.
