Homebuilt F1 Car

D.I.Y F1 Car Lessssss Goooooooo!

Picture this: You're a massive F1 fan who wants to drive any F1 car at full speed through any track. You become an engineer, get money from your job, and start working on a passion project, building a car similar to F1 cars at home. You start working with fiberglass, making airfoils to generate downforce (maybe after watching too many Chain Bear videos) and over time, you build yourself a car. You put a V6 there, make it work and boom, you got yourself a car that can turn well, has a top speed of 260km/h and uses road tyres. For the last part, you get inspiration from the mid 2000s Toyotas. You then say "Car done!"

Pictures:

Variants:


Renault inspired: faster, grippier, but harder to control.


AI Friendly: drivable by AI and with a Mclaren inspired livery.

Controls: VTOL to accelerate and reverse.
Roll to steer.
Brake for brakes.
AG1 for rain light.

Tips:You actually have to brake to turn, dont full throttle every corner.

It likes flying when going airborne, avoid jumps.

    Looks great, perfectly controlled, but there is a main disadvantage,she wants to constantly take off, on straight beautifully, in equal turns is also beautiful, but with small irregularities she takes off, it is still normal on the speedway, but when she wants one wheel leaves the track, she also takes off... So 6.5/10🤔
