Even though the IT3 engine is not finished, I decided to put its development on hold. I have changed job and am living away from my home town, in where my workshop is. Hence, I will get started with the design of the car (chassis, composites). This means, there will be some uncertainties about the engine fitting into the whole, but I am sure I can get around it.
I expect the design to be finished somewhere around Oct - Nov 2013. The model and aero surfaces will be finished end of this year. The rest of the detail design will be finished afterwards, including the latest design of the 2013 cars. The particular car to be made will be determined next year, as the newer the car I chose the better it will look when finished in 2015-2016. The engine will be first designed and then the development will continue on the test bench, untill it is running well, recovering the IT3 work. Car manufacturing will start end 2013, along with the engine testing.
Follow me to learn more about the progress with the car design, which looks very exciting! A lot of composite parts to be designed and built! I will try to make some posts about composite manufacturing techniques as it is quite interesting for model making but actually just a few ones use it.
