It’s here! The production follow-up to the one of the most popular challenges in GrabCAD History with an insane $5000 in prizes and even more importantly the chance to be on the body design team as this incredible project rolls towards series production at the Companies purpose built 20,000 sq. ft factory in fabulous Las Vegas, America!
It gets better! Supercar System has uploaded full car assemblies with incredible detail for you to download to style your bodies over.
Your challenge is to use this full car assembly to build a new custom body for the Supercar System!
Supercar System will hold its launch event in Las Vegas, Nevada by taking one of its big power 2400hp cars and running up close to 300mph, will it have your body on it?
There are 4 classes and 4 opportunities to win, please read them very carefully!
1) B2 spirit
This our Supercar, the big dog, with Supercar styling, don’t make a jelly mold! We have shrunk wrapped the chassis around the mechanicals and occupants so take advantage of this fact for air flow, and use GULLWING doors!
2) B2 spirit 300
What is the difference between the ‘regular’ B2 spirit and the 300? In a word SPEED. Your submission should use all the same body panels for both, however, think of the 300 as a ‘special edition of the regular car with some additional aero pieces. Our suggestion is as follow, put a big optional wing on the regular body, but put no wing and a big FIN on the top speed car. Also don’t forget to put a parachute on the 300, no we’re not kidding :)
3) Nucleus
The Nucleus is from the future! And the name says it all, this is a fully enclosed glass capsule wrapped in a protective Chromoly exoskeleton. You should put only a small amount of additional trim pieces to make this chassis cohesive and really sing. Bring your imagination!.
4) Rookie
The name says it all, this is the first rung on the Supercar Ladder, Think if it as a ‘Street Jeep’ a ‘Street
Fighter’ a ‘SuperMotard’ car crossover. Add very little, use flat glass, Have fun!. Hint see those door
panels? They are dying for killer graphics!
5) Freestyle
The name says it all, no rules, choose your chassis, get creative and go nuts! We can’t wait to see what
you design!
JUDGING CRITERIA:
2) Pay attention to the greenhouse [glass], we've provided a low wide platform with a beautiful anonymous curved canopy, the glass is seamless and the first of its kind. There should be no visible steel or carbon between the glass panels. Take good advantage of that.
3) Exaggerate proportions, the lower the greenhouse appears in contrast with the wheel arches the more aggressive your submission. Also strong rear hindquarters over the wheel arches like an animal waiting to pounce.
4) Aerodynamics are important in the higher speed cars.
5) The overall form of the body is sound. Make sure to perfect the body before adding any frills.
6) For model specific pointers think of the models this way:
A] B2-Spirit: It's all about the aero it should look like 300mph standing still.
B] Nucleus: It's arrived from the future, make the future proud.
C] Rookie: Think super motard, think street jeep, think casual fun.
SUBMISSION FILE FORMATS AND DELIVERABLES - SOLIDWORKS or Parasolid file formats.
MODEL REQUIREMENTS: Please use the following assembly files for the creation of your body. All submissions should adhere to the size requirement of the model. You can find the assembly here:
B2 Spirit & B2 Spirit 300
Nucleus
Rookie
If you have trouble with the Parasolid files, the files can be converted to STL and STEP using Workbench
RENDERS: Please use the 11"x17" templates exactly as provided on the model page of each class, use the Rookie template for your Rookie submission etc. ____________________________________________

Tommy Mueller almost 7 years ago
My thoughts on if you're having trouble with the file format, are to reach out to another GrabCAD member (there are several of us) to help you get YOUR design (created in whatever software you like) for conversion to either SolidWorks native format or a XT format for your entry. Better yet, team up with another GrabCAD’r to get your design across; as it says team entries are welcomed. Point is, don’t let a few small obstacles prevent you in creating a great solution for the Supercar Challenge.
Len Wodzisz almost 7 years ago
Nice Challenge! I don't have solid works. I have Inventor. Is a STEP file OK? Checking the scale of the downloaded assembly. Is it approximately 153" long by 79" wide?

Abe Gladstone almost 7 years ago
If you are having issues with using the Parasolid files, the files can be converted to STL and STEP using GrabCAD Workbench.
Flaviano Crespi almost 7 years ago
Welcome back 5G!
Unfortunately, I can not see anything,
there is something that does not work in the published x_t files.
Excluding SolidWorks, I have tried with three qualified programs that can open the x_t format, but the attempt immediately generated an error,
both for the small files of the lights and the big ones of the Nucleus.
I tried also to upload the light files into Workbench, but the preview is not generated and the conversion download in STEP format does not work.
It would be a pity to exclude competitors who can not open this x_t files,
I hope that you can upload a conversion in STEP format.
Thanks in advance, good luck for everyone.
Tommy Mueller almost 7 years ago
Hey all. I’ve gone ahead and taken the time to export the XT files from SolidWorks as STEP files to help anyone who is battle these format wars. You can download them using the Workbench project and Partner space link I created below:
https://workbench.grabcad.com/workbench/projects/gcObm2Y3--9n3kEu7_hI6vBn93I9Bg0Ens975PhTxyxg8K#/space/gcyfCFXIYfup9-m6OP3qZLftbHp6cbTRoxtacIDSYfjcHh
…
2 STEP files are provided: Nucleus & Rookie
The Nucleus STEP file is of course used for the B2 Spirit builds
…
Also, after exporting these STEP files, I double checked them by importing them back into SolidWorks. THEY TOOK ABOUT 7 MINUTES TO REIMPORT. Just be patient and let the software do its thing. I had no errors after importing except for 4 flat reference geometry planes on the Nucleus STEP model; just delete them and you’re good to go.
...
If the challenge sponsor wants to add them to their project page, go for it. Just please do your own check of the STEP files yourself. For GrabCAD’rs that are ready to go design, just download via the link above cause it’s all good :)

The hole pattern on the front rim does not match the bolt pattern on the rotter. Is this a standard shift? The clutch petal is there but no shifter. Loved my 97 Ram with a 5 speed.
Wade Sweo almost 7 years ago
I'm guessing the entries for the B2 Spirit would get kudos for integrating stealth geometry comparable to the flying version? Maybe saw tooth air flow intakes and a $2 billion dollar price tag?
Jordan Pelovitz almost 7 years ago
The files you gave us are extremely heavy, and the "nucleus" and "b-2" files seem to be the exact same.

Everyone, please make sure you uploads follow the regs and are on our chassis. Posting up cars that don't have a connection of follow the regs isn't terribly helpful. much appreciated.
Also to those converting the files, THANK YOU!

Hello Paolo Tiramani,
I have a question to ask:
I have seen that the type 5 engine is higher than the others of about 70 mm, so it exceeds the logical logical line that continues from the cockpit.
The filler necks and the intercooler lid come out of the line.
Which engine should we foresee at this stage?
Look at:

Thank you Mr Tommy. This video was with our first "Lab Rat" chassis. very crude and only 630HP. Our new chassis are very advanced as you can see from the download with adjustable EVERYTHING. Power starts at only 560HP but goes all the way to 2400HP :) Testing production in 2019 should be very interesting !

Hey everyone.. I'm having trouble with the STEP files. My computer is not what it use to be.... I use Maya for my modeling anyone have the chassis in .max .fbx .ma or .mb. if so that would be great i can wait to start.
Raunak Chaudhary almost 7 years ago
so we need to submit designs for all categories or any one of our choice
Supercar System almost 7 years ago
Raunak 1 of them or all of them up to you
Tommy Mueller almost 7 years ago
No problem, I got you Anthony Cruz and others in need. If it interests anybody, to create the OBJ I first imported the XT file into SolidWorks, then Live-Linked that in KeyShot, then exported the OBJ and MTL file from there. For my entry (still in progress), I wanted to use Modo to generate the basic 3D shape of my design, and now that’s done I’ve imported that design into SolidWorks to re-engineer those polys into clean surface geometry.
…
Anyways, here’s that link again:
https://workbench.grabcad.com/workbench/projects/gcObm2Y3--9n3kEu7_hI6vBn93I9Bg0Ens975PhTxyxg8K#/space/gcyfCFXIYfup9-m6OP3qZLftbHp6cbTRoxtacIDSYfjcHh
...
And you want the zipped up files that say “OBJ Nucleus Full Assembly” and/or “OBJ Nucleus Simplified”. The simplified version has many of the internal parts removed making it more lightweight at 780MB. The full assembly is the whole shebang at 1.8GB
Nic almost 7 years ago
Couple questions from me.
For B2 and B2 spirit, did you have any particular sanctioned race series or straight line records you would like to achieve? Are we considering things like salt flat runs or circuit laps? Just trying to get my head around aero package.
For any particular aero package, would user adjustability be beneficial? Considering your suspension package follows the track day adjustability scenario.
Can you provide any particular vehicles that you look to as competition? I wouldn't want this to influence my design but rather to indicate the balance between street and track the design should follow.
I'm happy if you want to leave it all open to interpretation, any comment would be welcome. Thanks for a great comp, I've been hanging out for ages.
Anthony Cruz almost 7 years ago
Thanks Tommy it worked out great!.. 1 question tho.. i had to scale down the model so the file size is not so large. Will i need to enlarge the file when i submit or should i leave it the size i am using. Thanks again!
Tommy Mueller almost 7 years ago
Awesome Anthony Cruz. You'll want the 1:1 ratio throughout your design. Possibly check or change your import settings in your software as "Inches"; that's what I exported it out of it KeyShot as. For any reason the scale is still off, try another unit of measure for importing. Your final import will be the life-size scale of a car roughly 12'-9" length, 6'-10" wide, and 3'-11" tall
Supercar System almost 7 years ago
Hi Nic, good questions, this are street cars that obliterate at the track, but they do not conform to any particular series rules as this would not be in the best benefits of the owner. As far as the bodies go beyond what we've already described I would say that your average McFerlambo jelly mold styling won't cut it. Lets just say less is more. Also lets not forget the epic Rookie and Nucleus.

I will soon join in this challenge. It is a great competition for upgrade my skill design, of sure everyone have opportunity because it have skill so awesome!! burn my spirit, yeah.. thanks Supercar System. have a nice day guys!!
Nic almost 7 years ago
Thank you Mr System. Will see what I can do.
Paul S. almost 7 years ago
Gentlemen,
Kindly answer these questions :
1) Are all these cars (five models) to be “street legal” ?
NOTE : Your picture, included with the contest information, shows a license plate, so the “Nucleus” car is likely not intended to be a race track only automobile. Accordingly, the SuperCar System website shows the “Stage 1 through 3” SuperCar models charted along the best known street legal high performance cars (LaFerrari not, but the other featured cars are street legal).
Hence these issues :
2) Is the contestant’s car body entry expected to expressly meet all the applicable norms and the Department of Transportation’s regulations and of which jurisdiction(s) ?
3) Crash survivability (roll over, side impact to the doors, front collision scenarios – full, half width, at various oblique angles, etc.., back end collision, etc..) ?
4) Bumper provision (front & rear) for low speed impacts – no body damage up to what speed ?
NOTE : To keep it simple, maybe, the contestants ought to think about these issues and provide room for the feasible solution(s) to be engineered in due time by the SuperCar’s engineers ?
Practicability issues :
5) Is some trunk space desirable (ref. the competition’s offerings), minimal or reasonable ?
6) As beautiful as it is, the Nucleus’ windshield might be difficult to outfit with the full coverage wipers, so the street legality might be an issue for the Nucleus (There might be a solution, but that invention can’t be put into the public domain here.).
7) Does the intended market include also the cold weather countries (Not for the racing on snow, but for the daily commuting.) ?
8) Since, there is a provision for the electric motors based hybrid front wheel drive, should there be some room provided in the bodywork for a future battery pack ?
Wheel wells design :
9) What is the maximum vertical wheel travel Front & Rear ?
10) Maximum front wheel side turning angle in degrees (from the neutral position) ?
11) Should some room for the addition of the rear wheel steering be included ?
Aerodynamic trim implementation :
12) Please confirm that the B2 Spirit is aimed at the fast race track laps and the down-pressure enhancers are an intended part of the package.
13) Conversely, the B2 Spirit 300 (objective 300 MPH ?) would aim for the maximum speed on a straight run, without sacrificing to the additional drag from the large wings & fins.
Vehicle lights :
14) On the Nucleus’ rear bumper, the positions of the backup lights and the turn indicator lights are inverted (Although the same form is intended, the lens color & type will be different).
15) Shouldn’t there be at the rear of the cars also a Centre high mount stop lamp in the USA & Canada ?
Expected extent of work :
16) Isn’t this mainly a car body styling contest ?
17) What is more important, the aesthetic appeal (car body proportions, the lines, the fluidity, etc..) or the "engineer's styling" for the maximum performance (weight, minimized dimensions, strict aerodynamic rules, etc..) ?
18) Is the fully engineered body work expected (fully functional doors, windows, hoods, etc..), or the detail engineering and solution(s) implementation will be done by others ?
NOTE : It would appear reasonable to show the discrete body panels, the ingress covers, the lights, etc.., but leave the methods of attachment and details of the mechanisms out.
Good luck with your ambitious high performance modular car concept,
P.S.
Supercar System almost 7 years ago
Mr Poste Scriptum. Will do our best to answer your questions as follows:
1-Yes, street legal, to begin mostly USA and then rest of the world
2- Yes the car is to meet USA street regulation. that is why we provide the details we have provided.
3- Yes the chassis meets FIA regulations for rollover and also has impact for front and sides
4- Already Incorporated
5- There will be trunk space for 22" standard luggage between the 2 front crumple members
6- The windscreen wiper for the curved glass in not a problem at all but its not on the model
7- This is a recreational sports vehicle, like a motorcycle or quad or can-am or a slingshot, it's not intended for daily commuting although I am sure customers will. It does have, heating and air-conditioning, wired glass for defrosting front and rear, electric windows and advanced electronics.
8- The hybrid drive is a future feature and only intended momentarily at corner exits and rear wheel spin. The battery will be relatively small. do not be concerned with this.
9- The car will be at approximately 2.5" and 4.5" for track and street respectively. The maximum compression is about 2" the maximum droop is 2"
10- Maximum front wheel turning radius is right about 30 degrees
11- There is already rear wheel steering it is engineered into the rear suspension, we will be doing a technical analysis on this at some point in the future
12- B2-Spirit is intended for fast short circuits and street, B2-Spirit 300 is a special edition intended for top speed maximization and collectors
13- As per instructions do not put a wing on the 300
14- Please use the files as provided
15- There will be a 3rd brakelight at the top of the B pillar.
16- The body has only 2 functions. 1 is to flow air, 2 is to look amazing
17- Flowing air and looking amazing are the same thing, one is not more important than the other
18- No of course you are not fully engineering, this is a bodywork contest

How are we supposed to model based on your chassis/motor when those models and specs aren't available? Or am I again missing something somewhere?
Nic almost 7 years ago
Quick question, there are two ports with what look like screw caps at the top of the air intake manifold above intercooler. What are these and do they require frequent access? They also appear to be misaligned in the assembly but from what I've seen from your YouTube channel the max config includes two intercoolers in a stack. Does this affect the clearance required under the rear body? Should the spirit 300 config have extra clearance in this area?
Supercar System almost 7 years ago
Hi Nic. We think for production we will only run 1 intercooler stack not 2
Nic almost 7 years ago
Thanks. And the screw caps? I can't maintain the curvature of the roof line without fouling on the caps. I could add a fin section to accommodate.
Supercar System almost 7 years ago
its a big motor for sure :) you mean the blue blow off valves? ok to cut a hole
Supercar System almost 7 years ago
Nic. Our testing is showing we probably won't use the double stack cooler as the single is so efficient. So please remove one of the stacks and this will lower the motor line a couple inches, hope that help :)

Quick 2-part question: As it pertains to SolidWorks - Is there a preference for our entries to be submitted as a Surface body, or as a Solid body? If it's a Solid body, is there a target thickness (for example .125") for the shelled body? Thanks in advance!
Tommy Mueller almost 7 years ago
Thanks, JOSE LUIS MARTIN but that question is not geared towards you, and the answer you've given is not helpful. Also, let's be sure you understand what "for example" means - it's not an official dimension, but a unit of measurement to guide to. And how do you know the body will be steel, cold rolled or otherwise? Let's keep the thread clear Jose so we can ask questions and get the right answers from the right source, thanks!

@Supercar System is it posible to change the back light shape in the design?
the deadline is changed? ive been sleepless for several days to meet the 4th of Jan deadline... Good to have another month to finalize it...

I am pleased to see an extension. I have been excited to participate but ultimately chose to prioritize friends and family during the recent holidays. Now I will be able to submit an acceptable level of quality design in time.

Is anyone having trouble opening this on Fusion? I couldn't export this to another format either, suggestions?
Cameron Reid almost 7 years ago
I have to say this 'challenge' has been a major disappointment and evidence of cheap labour exploitation. Firstly, the prize money is way too low. Do you seriously expect to receive a Lamborghini beating design for the prize money that wouldn't cover any serious entrant's time? I set a time limit of ten hours for this project, knowing that even if I won I would still be underpaid. I have my submission ready to go, but there's no point in submitting when the 'deadline' has changed purely to develop half-baked submissions by committee, and exploit more of the designer's time. This isn't a contest, it is using the combined talent on this platform to develop a cheap concept for you! You will get what you pay for. Tell me why anyone would put more time in, let alone start from scratch and spend the required time to develop a kick arse concept?

US$1000 goes a long way in some countries. Not so far in Australia, but down under you usually have to pay for quality punishment like this 😉

Hey, good on those guys for making an attempt. Clearly English is not their strong point and perhaps Google translate doesn't make the rules clear to them. Bandwidth may limit their ability to download the required files in the first place. But if they feel they are contributing or learning, then all power to them. I feel better about someone sitting down and doodling some CAD than the umpteen folks doing data entry on their local fort night server. And anyone worried about copying has rocks in their head. Automotive design is almost entirely referential and the best we can hope to achieve is a new subtle curve or a tight balanced style. There is so much nuance and subtlety required that if someone copied my design and made it look better, then they probably deserve the win. A straight copy would be easy to spot and my work will develop and change till the end so I'm not worried.
I'm not concerned about the money. I do this as a hobby and would do it regardless of the money. I stopped playing video games a couple years ago and find CAD far more cathartic for wasting time in front of a PC monitor, and I don't have to pay to play (Yay Fusion 360!). If you're truly a professional designer then you're probably in the wrong place to pick up paid work. The value here is the achievement you can put on your resume or portfolio. Any design parsed here would need many more months of engineering to make work and the organisers expectations have been set as such.
For the love of the game!

Hi @Jose Luis Martin.In the year 2019 i found the love of my life.Its ur skill that stole my heart.Its so beautiful so inspiring making me question everything i learned from the books,the online tutorial and lets not forget the wonderful and amazing grabcard model posted by its user.
Be kind to my heart and explain to me how u acquire such a high skill.Did u have it from the day ur born or did u develop it the way a forger develop a useless metal into a magnificent swords through patience and time.Is it god gifted or did u sale ur soul to the devil for it.
Plz explain it to me and if u can't go over facbook and brag about ur skill and ur negativity over there.
Cameron Reid almost 7 years ago
Jose it's not cool to bag fellow designer's work. I would like to see people of any skill level enter, we all learn somewhere. My point is that this 'challenge' should be just that, to challenge everyone's limits and learn. So the prizes should be drawn whether they use the design or not! To extend the deadline thinking they will get more or better entries is just insulting.

Anthony Cruz almost 7 years ago
This is my first time entering a design competition .. I picked up Maya just a few years back with the idea that I can design my own car and eventually with a lot of dumb luck have a one of a kind ride built just for me. I’m sure many of you would like the same.. I have no prior design experience or training at all and my kids crayon doodles look better then mine 😑..<— not kidding 😕.. Anyways... Anyone taking the time to put there work out there for others to see, critique or praise without any solid promise or prize deserves tons of Kudos in my book. I spent a lot of time on this holiday working to get my designs out there when I should have been getting drawing tips from my kids! I’m not happy about the time extension either but at least we still have the opportunity to hone our skills a bit more and more importantly. Learn... Peace out!
Sylvester Oziomek almost 7 years ago
I'd like to request some feedback, in return I'll share my feedback with regard to your suspension. In video, you mentioned it's fully adjustable which is not the case with regular cars or even F1 cars. There is a reason for that. Fully adjustable suspension make a lot of sense when it comes to developing a car or testing suspension settings not so much in a race car like F1 cars where every millisecond and every gram matters. Fully adjustable suspension is more complex - meaning higher rate of failure, it's heavier - meaning unsprung weight is increased - meaning worse handling. Also, complex set up - means expensive set up. I just glanced at the geometry, I didn't check it or test it, seem like a track car geometry.

The two radiators at the back are intercoolers only? Will the car have a front radiator for engine cooling?
ATTZ DESIGN almost 7 years ago
Please, anyone, is possible make 4 IGS or 4 STEP files, making the division of all mounted assembly, would help me a lot. Thanks!
Supercar System over 6 years ago
Ciao Luca, the radiators in front of the rear wheels are divided into a number of cooling tasks: engine water / engine oil / gearbox oil / air-con. There is no front radiator due to safety concerns and weigh balance. Bottom line is the radiators need HUGE air :)

Hey everyone! Just wanted to weigh on on a comment that Jose Luis made recently. While you are always welcome to offer guidance to other members and critiques of their work, it's not okay to insult the quality of their work or publicly shame them like that. We want all of our members to feel welcome to participate in these design challenges, regardless of their current skillset. So please refrain from making posts like this in the future.
If you have concerns about the challenge, you are welcome to reach out to me at Community Support (problem-solvers@grabcad.com), or send a message to the "Supercar System" account.
I hope the rest of you are having a blast designing the next supercar!
ATTZ DESIGN over 6 years ago
Hi Supercar System! I making conversion to work. The model is BIG on Alias Studio Tools. Workbench don`t making a conversion to .step or .igs. The file is big to workbench. wheelbase will solve my problem!
ATTZ DESIGN over 6 years ago
Sorry for my bad English! ^^
Taking advantage of the (JOSE LUIS MARTIN) friend's ride up. I've already had my user striked down. I got pretty bored. After receiving very polite and affectionate emails on my personal email from engineer and designers, from all over the world that I met here, I decided to go back. I came back because of these people. Is very important to know and recognize your customer. Is because of him that everything works and exists. I don't have much to say, but I know I've been disappointed several times and I'm here because I like 3D, I live of this. I would like to see my post from the first model (MANTA) of '500group challenge' be returned to me with all the comments and likes of my friends, if possible. Strong embrace in your heart.
Note: Can anyone tell me the 1: 1 wheelbase of this CarSystemModel? ^^ _ | ,, |

Supercar System over 6 years ago
2 contributions
Supercar System over 6 years ago
HOT TIPS! HOT TIPS! HOT TIPS!
Please read carefully:
Everyone, some great work being done on the 'full bodies' for the B2-Spirit and 300. Keep it up.
However this an opportunity with currently few entries and maybe some misunderstanding for the Nucleus and Rookie.
Think of it as an 'undressing!' with Nucleus having much less bodywork and Rookie even less bodywork.
Here are some tips:
NUCLEUS:
This design is almost complete as it, it should have very little extra bodywork! it needs doors for sure, maybe a wing or a fin, how about a clear fin? and just enough smaller panels to complete it but still see most of the guts of the car. Think of it as a beautiful cocoon pod from the future wrapped in technology and steel.Less is more!
You can put on just a little piece here and there and win!
ROOKIE
Where are the entries !? this is by far the easiest!, throw on some flat glass, a couple panels here and there, hot tip, how about just folded aluminum panels. Think Jeep style, Even less is more!!
SPIRITS
On a final note for the SPIRIT and 300 bodies. We want cars with fenders not open wheel but but still, look at Formula E and some of the more modern designs like the Aston Martin Valykrie or the Lamborghini Terzio Millennio. the Bac Mono or one of our absolute favorites the Praga R1, stunning!
What do they all have in common? they are not making Jelly molds! they are applying beautiful panels that all flow together into a cohesive single soul! All these examples are next level, beyond the current crop of McFerLambo cars..
Look at the beauty and engineering of the Supercar platform, we don't want to cover it all up, we want to show it all of like a beautiful girl in heels and a small cocktail dress!
Have fun and lets rock and roll! :)
Valentino Les over 6 years ago
Should have posted this a bit sooner @supercar system . This clarifies a lot. Basicaly every entry till now does not fit description from this last comment . I'm curently working on my 4th entry and it will look something like Radical car design ( pretty simillar to praga r1 ) . Thought I would upload it in Free form but with this comment I believe I should apply with it to Spirit and Spirit 300 . Or shouldn't I ?
Supercar System over 6 years ago
Valentino, probably Spirit.

@Supercar System is there a possibility of moving the tail lights a bit more to the back? I wanted to do a longer tail to organize the airflow a bit better...
Kevin Lo over 6 years ago
@Supercar System I think the challenge description of uninterrupted body lines, B2 bomber, and Kia Optima is the cause of the current fully-enclosed jelly molds. For Spirit, should we be keeping the provided Nucleus rear end or taking it as inspiration? Your more recent references are much more LMP/GT/DPi style race cars than the fully-enclosed McFerLambo cars. Sounds like Spirit and 300 should be more racer than fully-enclosed while maintaining Street Legality, right?

A little shout out to Supercar System guys. I am glad I took part in this competition because I'll win either way. If one of my designs wins great, a little extra cash in my pocket. If not I am left with few more car designs waiting to be build. This is the best deal I ever had. Thanks for motivating me to do some designing. I get attached to my designs that is why only one design per category. I still have two more designs ready to be modeled so I'll keep myself busy. Once again thanks and good luck to all original creators, stay creative guys.
PS. Can I have some feedback on my other two entries before you'll get busy judging.

Thanks to all those people who supported me. Both in this project and in the others of the challenge.
I also thank the Supercar System for giving me this remarkable possibility. Other companies should also take an example.
I thank you for having arrived in the final.
This encourages me to continue the evolution of my projects presented to deepen new improvements already in the state of work.
As always, time is a tyrant ... but we are more so.
I hope I have personally congratulated all the finalists but I also congratulate all the participants, given the huge amount of inventiveness that has emerged.
Grazie a tutte quelle persone che mi hanno supportato. Sia in questo progetto che negli altri della sfida.
Ringrazio anche la Supercar System per avermi dato questa notevole possibilità. Anche altre società dovrebbero prendere esempio.
Ringrazio di essere arrivato in finale.
Questo mi incoraggia a continuare nell'evoluzione dei miei progetti presentati per approfondire nuove migliorie già in stato d'opera.
Come sempre il tempo è tiranno ... ma noi lo siamo di più.
Spero di essermi complimentato personalmente con tutti i finalisti ma faccio i miei complimenti anche a tutti i partecipanti vista la mole d'inventiva emersa.
Daje ... e annamo !!!

Bogdan Tovstonog over 6 years ago
Very interesting feature from this "sponsor". Contrary to GrabCAD rules (which are not pass intellectual rights for the entry to "sponsor" until it is not won and not payed), this "sponsor" added next one: ("SUPERCAR CHALLENGE SPECIFIC ENTRY AGREEMENT:As a condition of entry and submission of designs to the challenge, Entrant assigns all intellectual property right in the design and submission to the challenge Sponsor"). So, doesn't matter who is selected as winner - they want to get Intellectual Rights for all submitted entries without any payment and agreement with authors.... Absolutely no respect to participants from this "sponsor"...
Sylvester Oziomek over 6 years ago
Bogdan Tovstonog remember that nothing here is happening without "GrabCAD" acceptance. "Specific entry agreement" you mentioned seem like violation of "GrabCAD Challenges Terms & Conditions" but keep in mind one thing. It doesn't say you pass exclusive rights to your work. As far as I'm concerned, they can use your design but you can do it too.
Just few months ago there was big debate here, which resulted in "GrabCad" deciding that uploaded files should remain creators property. This challenge rules might be a bit controversial but I don't think "GrabCAD" would let Challenge sponsor to have exclusive rights to your design just because you participate in the contest.
That is the way I see it, but I am not the lawyer, so I might be wrong.
Bogdan Tovstonog over 6 years ago
Basically not. In PM "Sponsor" says he has all Intellectual rights on my work. Guys, this is shit. Nothing prevents such kind of "sponsors" assign as winners their friends, or their own fake accounts, and use after that work of other people for free.

Bogdan Tovstonog over 6 years ago
@Kesa. I haven't paid attention to the "specific rules" and their advantage over official rules, othervice newer took a part in this " challenge". The official GrabCAD Challenges Terms & Conditions are correct and fair. But additional rules established by this "sponsor" is totally unfair and humiliate rights of engineers. A lot of people are not paying attention to rules, suggesting that everything is honest on such serious community. Maybe GrabCad doesn't have to accept succh requirements from such "sponsors"?... Doesn't matter won me or not - prize money are pitiable anyway. The worst is to spent hundred hours and realise that all this " challenge" just unfair fake from greedy "sponsor", who are considering this society as just cheap force source and doesn't have respect for it. Very bad experience.
Allison Warner over 6 years ago
I am amazed at how poor the judges eye sight is. Are y'all blind? Not to mention some of the comments left by Supercar system are not only illiterate and make no sense, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and display a fundamental flaw in logical thought process. I apologize for the contestants who have been scammed. Just look at the results-none match the criteria set out in the "REQUIREMENTS". Such a joke. Actually look at those winners--then look at the entries that got no mention. Some winners have intersected the chassis, not used the templates and no parachute. Some of the 'winners' are the most devastating display of autism i have ever seen. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.
Anthony Cruz over 6 years ago
I do have to say the contestants that did win have tremendously great skills.. The issue I believe is that. The judges did not read the rules and requirements and what Supercar system posted about each category. Like how they described what the entries should have. Like the parachute.. or the exaggerated proportions or keeping the canopy seamless ... Pretty much anyone reading the above criteria should have submited an entry that fit the guidelines and rules and anything that was mentioned above from Supercar Systems.. Unfortunately that was not the case for all the entries .. And it should have been the Judges responsibility to judge the entries accordingly. Let’s just say if my boss told me he wanted apples and I gave him oranges I would not be employed any longer... Had I known that the judges would ignore what Supercar Systems judging criteria was my entries would have looked different.. As I mentioned earlier all the winners and finalist are tremendously talented!! As for the judges I feel did not do their due diligence. There were many entries that fit the bill but were not even considered finalist nor even given a mention. Next time around I will think twice about following rules and regulations. Then perhaps things would be different ..... 😁 Till next time. Peace.
