    Wrong category, but didn't you sneak the 1972 Vels-Parnelli VPJ-1 Indycar in one of these threads?
    Sure would be fun to see it... I'm not sure they ever raced the car in this configuration..at the Indy 500 they took off the angled wings and used a large, large rear wing. Driver's never trusted the angled wings...3 big named drivers Mario, Al Unser Sr, & Joe Leonard. (well known to early '70's racing fans in the States that is) I can't remember if those slots in the angled wings were for more cooling or a 2nd downforce channel. Looks like 3 distinct configurations.

    the Lotus 72 was the longest running F1 chassis in History, from 1970 - 1975

    It looks really impressive, congratulations!! I couldn't distinguish if it's a restoration of the old models from Crew Seven, or if they're made from scratch... but whatever, Both Tyrrell and Lotus class '73 are really fantastic. Keep up this fantastic work!!

    Certainly, Chief is right. The Lotus 72 was the longest running one, closely followed by the McLaren M23 (1973-77... or 78 if we also consider private teams). Good old times...

    Is the aim to fill out the 70s season cars?

    Are there instructions somewhere how to create a custom car? Creating a team ingame doesn't save anything.
