The project is a proof of concept for a 3D design tool for dummies inspired by Ryoma and called : C.A.R.S. Conception Assistée de Rendu de Surfaces.
It's happening. Here's version 0.23 of the car body

And here's the tool that allowed to design the car body in 2 hours. One hour for entering the vertices coordinates, and another hour fiddling on stressed and carworks. 251 vertices, under the 255 limit.
Version 0.41 of C.A.R.S. for dummies was stable enough to prove it can help designing 3D shapes with point and click and much less hassle than by hand. I'll keep on pushing the project until alpha.
Now I will start developing D.A.S.H.E.S. for dummies to design the dashboard.
Then I'll develop T.U.N.E.S. for dummies to tweak the specifications.
I wont release R5 turbo Marlboro before vanilla version. More versions of R5 turbo will be easy design when vanilla marlboro R5 is finished.
But I'm sure many drivers will like it when released.
Update on version 1.0 car body (vanilla)

Early specs, defined by real life car + rigid PG. Before extensive road testing it's at 137MPH max.

I love it! It looks awesome!
