2008 IndyCar carset
2008 IndyCar carset
Hey everyone, after a rest from car painting (of about a week) I've got started on a new carset. There's a hint in the subject! Anyway, here's the first fruits of my labours:

Blimey, that was a quick reply Henning? No the tyres are Pat Painter's 1997 McLaren wheels. I've done the car shape though.

The rear spoiler looks graet btw
I don't know the series well but the car looks realistic to me...

Re: 2008 IndyCar carset
Thanks! The shape isn't entirely accurate but I didn't want to distort it too much, basically I've just changed the rear wing, moved the sidepods forward and lowered the nose.

Dan, you've done a great thing here, the carshape looks goodenough to me. =D>

Re: 2008 IndyCar carset
Thanks mate. Got a few more cars done now, this carset should be done a lot quicker than the WTCC ones but I'll probably not release it till the end of the season.

I like the car! The painting and the shape.
Re: 2008 IndyCar carset
The shape is awesome =D>
Re: 2008 IndyCar carset
Hmm, to be honestthe carshape doesn't completely look like an IndyCar yet, for me.
It's mainly because the nose seems too short to me and also the shape of it.
And also the characteristic airbox is missing, but as you said, this would probably not possible without doing bigger "harm" to the bitmap...
Will you make a version with oval aero config and one for more downforce? (carshape 1/2)

Re: 2008 IndyCar carset
I'm currently only planning on doing the road-course aero, the teams have to use these wings on several ovals anyway, plus I'd have to re-draw some of the bitmaps for the different wings. It's not a bad idea though, so it may happen! Currently I've got the Panoz as carshape 2 (I know no teams used it this season but it will allow me to to past carsets).

Justin Wilson's Newman/Haas/Lanigan car. I've changed the area around the cockpit on the bitmap, it makes the nose look a little longer.

Re: 2008 IndyCar carset
It looks very good, Dan. =D>
Only the numbers on the rearwing could be a little bigger compared to the real thing.
Edit: Dan, could you send me the carshape you've made? I want to try some things on it.

Re: 2008 IndyCar carset
Could it be that today's helmets are smaller than the ones that were up-to-date in the mid-90s?
I got some Minichamps model cars and the ones from the older seasons have bigger helmets, than the ones from 98,99, etc.
It would be possible because of new materials and would make sense because of weight reasons...
--> To come to the point, the helmet on the screenshot looks bigger in relation to the car, than the one on the photo.

The question is: is it possible do size him right via the helmet's shape?V12-Power wrote:--> To come to the point, the helmet on the screenshot looks bigger in relation to the car, than the one on the photo.
