Grand Prix 4 @Thedarklistener - looks good, but you should try to work slower. I believe you are working on the new redbull right? Try to take a closer a look on the reference pic's . Keep it up
@ferrariman - nice car , but the rear wheel arch looks a little bumpy?

F1 strange no one mentioned this guy, Sead "Zele" Lipovača from the wild strawberries(divlje jagode). He was approached to join Whitesnake as lead guitarist, but he refused.

Off-Topic I learned modelling with the use of different tutorials and help from other modelers. On the other hand i also learned a lot of stuff by experimenting by myself and discovering stuff.
I learned it with 3dsmax and i am still using 3dsmax
A good tip is to join 3d model forums and show of your work. People will help you a lot , it's a good way to improve your skills
Some good forums:

Grand Prix 4 Nothing wrong with charging money for 3d models. Do you know how many hours and free time modelers spent in 3d cars?.
Those modelers you mentioned are just nice guys doing something for the community. I would also respect the decision if they would charge money for their models.

F1 ok here it goes
1. Just a 1 sided plane
2. Select the edges and pull it out
3. Now you have this
4. While the edges are still selected press on 'cap'
5. Voila, 2 sided

Grand Prix 4 hmm the rear wing looks one sided?? that's maybe the problem. You need to have polies on both sides.

Grand Prix 4 Can't you select the tga's manually in that pop screen??? Otherwise check the material editor .

Grand Prix 4 looks great spoony :D
A little tip, check the airbox, the corners shouldn't be that sharp. Maybe it's only the angle of your render.

Grand Prix 4 haha at renault OMG!, damn that looks bad.....
I have to agree that the williams is the best so far

F1 hehe at Jim :p.
the mclaren looks decent, the f60 and the toyota still look better. Mclaren really needs to go back to the old west livery, silver and black uuh.

F1 hhm tbh it doesn't look that bad, the nose reminds me of the 2002 arrows.
But this looks much better right? why don't they use this livery, looks 10x better
I am gonna miss the old f1 cars, especially the one from 2000 and 2001

Off-Topic windows 7 was fun for 30 min and then the problems started. After installing the chipset drivers suddenly my keyboard and touchpad didn't work anymore. It also wouldn't recognize a extern keyboard. So back to vista and installed ubuntu as a dual boot .
P.S.
I have a realtek soundcard and it worked fine on 7.
