[lmp] Lynx LMP Mk. 1

An open-cockpit LMP built to the IES OP1 specifications, written by Gzehoo.

Unusually for an American-built racing prototype, Lynx's design is tuned more for tackling corners rather than powering through straights, with downforce as strong as the rules allow. This does make a minor hit to acceleration, though.

If I were to enter the IES tournament, this is the car I'd take.

Final update, plus old model in case you prefer the way it looks. LMP Mk1a will not be used in competition.

Welcome to carmaking. Model looks very good. I am waiting for next cars.

3 teams may use one car.

The only one note from me is about the "lights" size - mainly Z and Y. But after the poll in IES topic I'd update the point about lights.
Hitbox should be suitable to the car without rear wing - in your case it should be 2.00

Another thing - you didn't use physic points :scratch:

At the end of it all... good job ;) Open roof and this rear wing style :bg:

Right, good to know it's mostly legal. I hope the lights aren't enough to disqualify the car, I kind of prefer how they look this way - but, if I must, I'll size them down.

Also, I do keep wondering why on earth the performance changes won't save. Fixed it now, reuploading with minor fixes.

And thank you :)

Updated with fixed normals for the stabilizer, as well as slightly retuned stats (balance 0.75 over 0.7)

Final updates applied, lights have been downsized to fit within specifications. Car is totally race-ready, no more modifications necessary.

In addition, the former model has been added, ingame name "Lynx LMP Mk.0" and filename "Lynx LMP Mk.1a" in case you want to delete it. The old model will not be used in competition due to illegal headlights.

Not worth bumping: 1.31 rearranges polies to look better ingame.

Probably rear wing in this car was also a little bit too long (Z-size) It's OK, I didn't see earlier in the attachment ;)

I must say I don't remember the last open-cockpit LMP car I've seen on here, very nice :bg:
