just for fun...

Someone on Grassroots motorsport said it would be interesting to try explore the rally content of the donor "group B" style, what do you think?

Done quickly to give some drawing to see ...

Done quickly to give some drawing to see ...

Wow... nice drawing! I couldn't do that if I took all the time in the world. Are those hints of Lotus Elise and bug-eye '02 WRX that I see in the front?

[PhyrraM]

I like it.

[Olimk2]

Thanks, yes it's wrx bugeyes! Wasn't thinking of the elise...anyone will see hints of some other cars!
Done this between two "serious" sketches!

[subyrod]

So cool! I see Focus RS rally car, Fiat500 and WRX. Ya, seeing this sketch, I knew I sucked bad at drawing.

[Oppenheimer]

Wow, I really like. I was thinking along the same lines, would really like to see some Group B Rally in the design.

The only criticism I have is the bug-eyes. While I am kinda fond of the WRX bug-eyes, here they look a little too, bug-eye sprite or something. Too cute. Rest of car is all aggressive/cool, headlights, not. I think the bug-eye lights themselves could remain, just needs some work on the nose or something.

Also that wing is a bit too 'boy-racer'. Tone it down to more of lip thing, lose the side sails and those angle brackets.

One look at the quality of this sketch humbles any fleeting thought I had on trying to come up with my own design idea. WOW!

I like this too. I used bugeye lights for my sketch and I keep ending up with a porsche type front end. :( You utilized them very well I think!

[Olimk2]

Regarding the headlights, there are aftermarket ones (rally wrc like) that are more purposefull. Sonicrex, the Porsche syndrome with them is obvious, same results for me...(could be worse!!)

Thanks all for the good comments cheers me up for the following stage...

Here's the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) STi projector headlights on my WRX. But these babies sell for about $500 a set used in the market (Check NASIOC.com classifieds). Brand new they're over $1000. These are adjustable from teh cockpit as well. Kinda cool (aka not neccessary imo).


Man, Salt Fever! Can't wait for Speedweek 2011. :) Just FYI...

[Olimk2]

I've seen aftermarket ones for 150$ pair/new. Same goes for the rear.

[subyrod]

^you cant' even get quality oem ones for that. Gotta be careful in the aftermarket. The eBay specials and stuff...

[Oppenheimer]

So if a design like this ends up being chosen, we can call it the FFR Group B.

[Olimk2]

We are far from a roadster so very poor chance to be chosen, just did it to illustrate a forum post...

[John Buzoianu]

excellent sketch Olimk I was gonna say the front end made me think of a cross between a lotus and a mini (as far as the headlights went)...

[Olimk2]

Thanks John!
