Formula Mix

This challenge involved merging multiple models for an exciting result. The creator began by searching GraCad's extensive library and made modifications within SpaceClaim, which effectively handled large Step files like the 424MB one. Key components included wheels from 500 Group, brakes by Andre Rätsep, a suspension system by Steve Roumeliotis, a V8 engine by Nicolas and Carlos Fuentes, an aerodynamic glider body by Aptilla, rear wings by Heriberto Maruzza, and a sports car seat by TaUseeF AlaM. To optimize the design, the creator split the radiator into two parts and placed it in underwing pods along with double intercooled turbo radiators. The glider body's separation provided space for safety roll bars. The final result resembled a mix of a plane, current Formula One car, and a 60s race car. SpaceClaim allowed saving in various formats, and additional components from GrabCad could be added to create a road version.
