Experimental F1 Car (Automation) 1.0

Hi :)

First of all, I want to say that I know how hard it is to build a car out of 3D fixtures and to make it work properly in Beam, since I already released an open wheeler prototype and an 8x8 off-road truck, and I am currently working on a 2022 F1. So, just because you did everything that needs to be done to have a clean result, you already deserve 5 stars in my opinion. But your car is not perfect, I see a lot of possible improvements:
- Your car is not a realistic F1 ;). It takes some parts of the new F1, and some other parts to various older generations of F1. I personally don’t mind, but someone expecting a real realistic F1 can be disappointed. This is more a open wheeler prototype
- According to beam, it weights 1360kg. It’s way too heavy for an open wheeler. It’s an easy but time-consuming fix. Reduce by 50% every single node weight value of your car, you will end up with half your weight while keeping your weight repartition
- Your tires are extremely unrealistic. A friction coef of 3 is way to high, and it’s also why your tires explode sometimes. You should try to go with a value of 1.2/1.3, it will feel way better. Most of your grip should come from the 3000kg of downforce your car produces at 300kph (which is actually a really good score), and not from a set of tires covered by a thick coat of superglue x)
- Your suspensions are too soft. It’s kinda hard to have a clean trajectory
- You can edit the scale and the position of the mesh of your wheels and tires to make them visually fit their real width
- It would be nice to have a proper collision mesh. It’s quite hard to make tho, so it’s not really important if you can’t do it

That’s all I have to say, I hope this feedback will be useful! If you have any question, you can send me a PM, I am quite busy, but I will try to help if you need/want it :)
