Thats awesome!

Change of pace for a sunday evening

Very nice work man! Those LMP 1/2 pits are a pain to work on. I see you don't have the door latches modelled. Will you solve that with textures and simplistic latches or go ful detail? I find those look super cool but add quite a bit of geometry.

Looking forward to see this next to the Perrinn .

I'll surely model some proper latches, haven't looked into it really. Do you mean hinges? Kunos have them, look fairly simple I thought, not too much trouble to add.

Cool pic your design oozes off a bit of old school LM prototype given the extended tail/overall length

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Getting the Perrinn going again. The RL project has moved to all electric extending the wheelbase and changing the bodywork so this will be a spinoff based on the original design and @mclarenf1papa 's physics work. Planning to roll out a more or less beta version with reduced geometry bodywork, wheels and wheel barrels as well as custom brakes and a cockpit and steering wheel (read: an entire model) with placeholder sounds before christmas. Drivetrain for now ~700hp non-hybrid drivetrain with a possible future addition of a HY version.

Rock on!

You know they mean business when the paint is so thin you see the carbon weave!

E36 is a car what is easy to found, find someone /user who have this car on real life and measure it + photomaching. I measure manta and eclipse-its really helpfull.

If you want i can help on measure(try find car) but you must send me closed beta

I have an E36 racecar in real life, with original dash but different steeringwheel, maybe I can help...

 

[stingray_SIX_TWO]

Having driven a number of E36s over the years and never really liking it the way I love the E30 and E46 I gotta say the one thing that car does so right is the wrap around cockpit arrangement. The way the dash components 'stick out' around the driver side is something else and truly unique with BMW dashboards. Always reminded me of the 90s Saab styling only better and more ergonomically refined. Anyway fellas...rock on!

Brake discs and brake lights

 

[Modek]

Well i've been experimenting with the cameras thing with some advice of modeller friends and @A3DR post in first place and i found out that the dash even though was not that off it needs a ton of adjustment ...meanwhile i think i will try to make whats behind it first to make it a more easy job (making the dash)

So yesterday i've teared my car appart and took some photos of the car door ... surprisingly
the dash corners matched very well ...might be just a coincidence but i was happy for it...anyway still alot to do

Haha, these headlights make me think of these - may need a rethink!

How long is the car?

 

[garyjpaterson]

Dunno actually, can tell you in about 2 hours when i get hold of a virtual tape measure. Wheelbase is 3 metres, which is fairly sizeable then obviously those overhangs aren't small, surely more than 5m?

The connection of the rearwing to the body looks really fragile.
Otherwise beautiful longtail

Yep, just wait till you see the updated spec rear wing - its worse! Being a purely aerodynamic exercise, structural integrity and manufacturability are thrown out of the window

Im trying to not sound harsh but i think I need to, those lights are horrible and counter productive, wouldnt the lines obstruct the light reducing the level of lumens.

Well Kenny can sing and move in the stage with them

(unless he is hidding parking sensors in his body)

Although maybe gary try to do the inverse...instead of a grill as a mask the lights stuck out those same and returning the mask to the back of the headlight

Like this >
mask In

Mask out (gary's)

No i totally agree (hence the 'may need a rethink' comment). Just wanted to try something other than a big block of light, as its such a large area.

How long is the car?

5m exactly, 2m wide and just over 1m tall.

As a suggestion maybe copy bykolles. They know their **** when it comes to headlights.

 

[garyjpaterson]

Wasn't a fan of the bykolles headlights tbh, loads of weird LED clusters. Remind me of spiders eyes or something.
