Few more details, fuel filler, cockpit cooling vents, wiper, rear suspension etc.

I would get stuck in that door

Haha, I'm a skinny guy but I think I'd have trouble too

And of course the mandatory naca duct! Not sure it can be considered a proper race car without one!

Looks really cool in red

No, at this point it's technically a "historic" car, but it's not too dissimilar from the Acura.

Beyond what I've said above, I won't divulge details about the car itself.

However, I can talk about the project a bit. We're actively working out the specifics, but it will either be licensed or unlicensed payware (hopefully the former, but the manufacturer's communication has been lacking in the past), with the price depending on which of those two options we settle on. In any case it won't be much different than what e.g. RSS charges. We'll roll out more information in the coming weeks.

Does that mean that the Oreca FLM09 and Corvette DP will stop receiving updates ???

No, though the next one will likely be the last unless Kunos add new features.

Wow Dan... That thing is looking bad-a$$. Right on... I don't know much about LMP racing/history -- I never really paid attention to where side mirrors are mounted on those types of cars. That's crazy!

Ya know, I've applied the UVW Unwrap modifier countless times and I've never once been left with a piece of chocolate. WTF? Is that in the full version only? I'm using the student version...

You need to 3d print your model.

If someone were to hypothetically manufacture a chocolate 3d printer, I would be excited.

(Plastic resin printing? Meh. Titanium printing? Blah. Chocolate printing? Now the technology is mature...)

Well, you're in luck.

Yeah. Until we find out that 3D chocolate printing gives you AIDS.

Nah, that one looks like it's close to the correct aspect ratio. A lot of race cars have ridiculous miss-shaped ones.

Give us some more info here, mate.
That looks yummy.

It was only 6 or 7 years ago when I finally learned those crazy shaped inlets were called NACA ducts. When I finally did learn the term, I was surprised to see that something designed for aircraft bodywork could be easily ported to automotive bodywork too. They're a prominent feature of the Ferrari F40, of course, but I was shocked to realize I didn't identify the NACA ducts on the Lamborghini Countach. As a child, I just thought it was a "cool shape".
