I'll be spending a fair bit of time on the lods and getting the view distances right so don't worry.

Looks like this is going to be quite an interesting project!
You might want to double check the size of the wheels against a photo. They are looking much too large ATM!  |

Hopefully if somebody tracks down a copy of the rules for DPs then I'll get the size perfect, also I think it's Chase have some measurements on thier site so I'll loosely scale it to those sizes and compare sizes between the cars by eye. But as someone pointed out all my wip models look thin so that could be it.
Also that pic is now very old as I've carved 200+ polys out of the wheels but I've managed to keep the same effect on the rims and the doors are now detached. It now weighs in at around 4000 all in, 800 for the engine and the rear suspention and 200 for a simple interior and driver and the VA model is done all together at 5000. Then it's mapping time and onto the lower lods.

another technique is to use a perfect side view of the car as a background while you model...

It's finding one though. But I can see what the problem is size wise, the rear wheel is far to large but when it's reduced the curve of the upper part of the side pod can be altered as that has quite a curve to it. But it's not being scaled up as I do it I'll do all the scaleing once I'm 100% happy I've got the fine detail done as that way it can be done all at once.

I'm sorry if this question sounds silly but are you saying you first model all the fine details and then work on the actual model of the car?

Nope, I model it all and scale it as one model.

A copy of the first ingame version (when I get it ingame mind) to the first person who can guess the poly count of the model in the picture.

What is the point of having removable doors on this car? Is there support in F1C for that feature or is just extra? I remember seeing previews of WSC years ago that showed the cars with opened doors. It would be cool to see this in an F1 game.

well, let me put it this way. if you ever saw a grand-am race, you know what i mean. When the cars get into eachother (on the side) the doors would fly open (or partly open) thats what we are going to simulate. if there is a big impact, the doors will come completly off (As will the front deck, in a frontal impact, and the rear wing and rear deck in a rear impact) we are trying to make it as realistic as possible
