Description

Light and powerful 4WD in a unconventional configuration
Inspired by Phil Frank's Nike One as seen in Gran Turismo, the PF One is best described as a crazy 4WD electric motorbike. It's light, powerful, four-wheel drive with monsterously big tyres, and all in a configuration that's unusual and versatile. It loves zipping through traffic, going sideways around rallycross tracks at insane angles, or close open-wheel racing on an oval. All the speed is amplified by the driver's proximity to the road - it's an odd feeling looking upwards at an MRT driver.

I've tamed the sci-fi a little, and countered what I can, but you're still going to have to suspend a few disbeliefs... wheel hub mechanisms that somehow mimic a double wishbone perfectly, the capabilities of the human neck, how exactly the driver got in there in the first place, that sort of thing. (Take those issues up with Phil Wink )

I've added a fair whack of downforce with a proper aerofoil shape to the front wings, wing followers, and an enormous combination deflector/diffuser at the back to complement the combination tail / wedge-stabiliser. It might be too little force for that stubby a chord, but I didn't want to overdo it. It'll still lose the back going over the WE1 crest if you're not careful, and you feel the lack on the brakes under 60mph/100kph.

To do:

- Smoothing mesh (all over)
- Add detail (interior, roll bars)
- Make skinable
- Headlights/front indicators?
- Handlebar fix
- Any tweaks/changes from feedback.

Huge credit to CyberMob's Acer: I had found some potential and ruined it in several different ways with endless tinkerings back at the 4-wheels-and-a-board testing stage - he brought it back from the dead with his fixes, improved the handling all around, and made it worth continuing with. Much thanks Acer :thumbs:
