Nice idea but I can't help thinking it's quite a bit too large? You could hide in one of the sidepods. If you need some specs google "Lola B02".

Yes the sidepods are a bit different. At first we wanted to make a Ferrari F1. So we had the sidepods made at a carpenter. He didnt knew how the car looked so he just crafted something up. But it looks awesome to me!
It is hard to really recreate the Fo8. But we are triying hard!

Great work, Vinny! Keep it up. Looking forward to seeing more

That looks like allot of fun.

Something maybe in the future, once iv managed to make abit more space in the house ill attempt something like that, don't think the fiancée will be too pleased though. I'm interested in the steering. You say a Ferrari f1 wheel, anymore info please?

Look forward to seeing some updated pics.

Are you sure it's an FO8?

on the photo ? umm.... OH THATS MICHAEL SHUMACHER IN A WET RACETRACK ! by what i see it might be in spa or something.

Yes we had some base to work from. Because the Fo8 wasnt enough.
So we took the Ferrari. And the F1 Wheel is an exact replica of the 2008 season's wheel.

Great project Vinnylegends, I wish I had the time and space to do something similar. Any plans for the screen already? A triple-screen would be perfect

Im gonna use a projector on a big screen wich folds around the front of the car.

How on earth do you have an exact replica of the 2008 season's wheel?

E: or did you craft that too?

Great project, keep making it

its huuuuuuuuuge...

I have a contact in Spain who replicates them. He also makes BMW wheels.

You should see what people get up to on flight-sim forums. I remember one kid who made the front 30 feet or so of a 737 in his garage, complete with interior, as his dad worked at an aircraft breakers' yard.

very cool project mate

Ty Guys!
The contstruction of the wheel will start ASAP.

I'd have used the Lola Formula 3000 chassis:

Guys, This project was first started as an F1 Sim. But I think the only car it looks like is the F08. So its a little bit of an UF1 and a BF1.
I know it isnt exact the F08. So lets make it a F1 Sim project from now

This is the first thread he did:

There were a few follow-up threads over the next year or so, but I can't be bothered looking right now

Bear in mind this was all done by a 12-year-old kid
