I wasnt linking SB with STR, just mentioning him because he was second in GP2, which you said Kyvatt was. Normally most of us anaraks know who is second in GP2 and have heard of such a man.
I think he could turn out to be brilliant, or a dud. he will not fall in the middle. Sure Kimi worked out fine with no experience, but that is Kimi. same with Seb, gave him a good car and he won, but that doesnt exactly occur often enough for teams to make driver decisions with similar rolls of the die. $0.02 |

Whining? Are you sure you're reading the same thread as the rest of us? I haven't seen any whining, just people expressing surprise that STR chose a 19yo, relatively unproven and unknown driver ahead of some other drivers. Expressing surprise and explaining why one is surprised is not whining, nor is it the same as saying the F1 teams are all inept. |

... bumper height laws, turn signals, brake lights, doors, door handles, windshield wipers... you might have better luck sticking a Vodafone sticker on your Subaru and calling it a Mclaren. or if you're really set on doing a lot of work, you could powdercoat the frame on your Subaru red, and then call it a Ducati!

Biggest point is, you sound like an idiot associating every open wheel car (and yours won't even be open wheel!) as a "Formula 1" car. A "Formula 1" car is only an F1 car because it meets those specs. Just like an SAE car is an SAE car by meeting those specs, and a formula atlantic, formula ford, Indy car, etc. All open-wheel "formula" cars. Your project will have absolutely nothing to do with a F1 car, besides that fact you're making it look like an open-wheeled car. Again, of which there are countless breeds. You dismissed everyone with ANY knowledge or experience in scratch building a chassis, etc. with child-like, uneducated dribble. If you could take your head out of your ass for two minutes, you might realize that the guy who suggested using some form of a modified book lotus 7 chassis, on top which you could but whatever ridiculous bodywork on, or making a scaled-up version of a pretty standard SAE chassis, is exactly what you should be looking at doing. They know what they're talking about. You haven't the faintest idea what you're saying. This is the last tube framed (4130) car I made with a few other guys. You'll have to build something with at least similar proportions (rather than size) in order to get that "F1 look" (whatever the **** that is) you so desire: I'd say build the full on monocoque, but that's ridiculously expensive, and requires knowledge you will never have. Because your car will be larger in size, you can use a lot more off the shelf components...uprights, spindles, axles, diffs, etc. The car above is all custom in that regard.

So you meant you're going to use a ladder frame off a pickup? Tell us then, what type of existing vehicle frame are you going to modify? Stealing the tub off an Enzo? Last edited by SoapBox; 10-23-2013 at 12:35 PM. |
