Realistic Formula 1 Car - Developers

Hello, my name is Slicer, and I am a huge Formula 1 fan. So I try to incorporate F1 racing into my life however I can. I was just wondering if someone could do a realistic Formula 1 car (driveable as a bonus, but not for now. I don't want to strain you people.) Just whatever you do, do not make a 2009 spec car, because those cars are super ugly. To be more specific, I would like to see the MP4-23 Mercedes Mclaren Formula 1 car (the car driven this past season.) To help out, here are some pictures of the car. [IMG]http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa290/imaslicer/McLaren-MP4-23-Mercedes_1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa290/imaslicer/McLaren-MP4-23-Mercedes_2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa290/imaslicer/McLaren-MP4-23-Mercedes_3.jpg[/IMG] I would probably recomend this task only to the most skilled of modelers, because of all of the details in the aerodynamics and what not. I also suggest buying a replica 1:43 model of the car, so you can see the details in the car. Thank you very much. -The Slicerer

Could probably be ripped from trackmania.

[QUOTE=Robert!]Doesn't look as real as the one above.[/QUOTE] If he wants an exact replica he's just gonna drop his standards or wait like... forever... to get it done. That is a very complex model to do and it would probably take over a month to get every piece correctly modeled and a shitload of reference pics.

And is it possible to maybe rip the trackmania model out, then edit it to make it more realistic? Like adding the bumper in front.

:siren: [B][highlight]As it turns out, not a spoiler[/highlight][/B] :siren:

No Pling. That's not a spoiler. ITS A DOWNFORCE WING!!! Its basically like an airplane wing except upside down. A spoiler doesn't actually create downforce, it just spoils the airflow. If an F1 car had a spoiler, and not a downforce wing, it would be screwed up completely [url]http://www.f1technical.net/articles/8[/url] [url]http://www.f1technical.net/articles/9[/url]

A terminology mistake there.

PLing, I gotta say that you're wrong. An upside down wing is a wing. A spoiler disrupts airflow (whether positive or negatively impacting performance). When it creates a downforce, it's a wing. Even putting the tailgate down on your truck could be considered a spoiler.

I already wikipedia'd it. You're a minute late. From which you get a punishment in a form of silly text in your edited post box. [b]Edit:[/b] To get back on the topic, ripping some F1 game models should be good enough for your standards.

And what about ripping from F1 games? I know some F1 games. Out there.

well i know there's a whole modding community for the game Grand Prix 4. They make season packs and everything. They even made DTM mods and an LMPS mod.

Sorry, I can't be bothered to make a thread so I bumped this. Why hasn't anyone ported this!
