Who is the intruder?

You added Schuppan's #48 Eagle?

I think that would be the most sensible idea. So, my next question would be to ask for help identifying the RoC-specific photos of the Chevron, as I'm not as talented as some on here in that regard.

In my "F1 seven" installation I already  have both versions of the Eagle 755 (74' and 75') ...

But along with other F5000 cars (including an improved version of Berta) is  my intention in the future to release these cars...

I anticipated your 2nd question in my first answer LOL all pictures joined are from RoC

Brilliant! I was unsure as there seemed to be some logos missing (focusing on the AuroraFX championship sticker on the top of the sidepod), but that may just be reflections and image quality hiding that in some shots.

Also interesting to note, the left and right radiators seem to be blanked off in different ways. I'll try to replicate this in the model too.

More progress.

In seek search of more advice. The front of the cockpit has always been a bit troublesome for me to map. From front or top down, I seem to have to compromise (looking at this car, the purple line gets quite blurry, as it was mapped from the front.)

Does anyone have any advice how to map this section to get a clean and unblurry mapping?

A good mapping depends on both the correct subdivision of the figure that creates the frame of the car but also from the good shape of the frame itself.
In general the mapping that I have shown in the figure is the best to use, and the number of polygons of the frame also determines an optimum yield of the work.

I hope my suggestion will help you.

I had subdivided the car like you demonstrated, that is something I have been doing for years, it's the only way.

But I took your advice and added more polys to the section  I had trouble with (like, easily quadrupled the amount there), and that seems to have helped immensely.

It's an ambitious idea, but wouldn't it be great to be able to race the British and South African F1 Championships as well, next to the World Championship? Unfortunately I can't make cars (but I can do basic liveries)
