Downforce!

Author's note: This is the best F1 Car i've made so far. I'm really happy i was able to make it as good as i wanted it to be. Took me 3 days to make. Hope all of you enjoy it! Also, thanks to everyone that wanted to be tagged, it means a lot to me. Sorry in advance for the long description.

Introduction: The Giorgini SGF1-78A is Scuderia Giorgini's entry for the 1978 Formula 1 season. It was powered by an in-house built 60° V10 Twin Turbo engine, making 950 Horsepower and 750 Newton/Meters of Torque. It had good aerodynamics with little drag, but did not have good sideskirts to seal the Ground Effect. That made the car dangerous for bumpier tracks like Spa or Monza. It was also not very reliable, with many DNFs along the season. The team scored only 9 points, putting them in 8th in the Constructor's Championship, even with the chassis itself being good.

Features:
-Multiple Cameras for an extra cinematic touch.
-A neat paintscheme.
-Good aero, downforce and grip.
-Fast speeds and great acceleration.
-A working, big and clean steering wheel.
-Loads of suspension tweaking.
-Glass windshield.
-Exhaust flames.

Pictures:

Controls: VTOL for throttle and reverse.

Tips:
-Reversing is very slippery, so be careful.
-Do not take bumps or jumps at all.

P.s: Only as i was writing this description, i noticed from some angles, this car looks like a Dallara Indycar, like the one in GRID Autosport. I was actually inspired by the Spirit Team's car and the Tyrrel 010 (the latter i saw in this year's Grand Prix Monaco Historique)
