A few of my friends and I, as a project, were planning to construct an open-wheeled, 1960s style F1/Indy racing car. We were planning to construct the vehicle from scratch, and we are seeking guidance and help from the knowledgeable veterans here at ApexSpeed. We want to build either a Lotus 49 style, rear engined racing car or a Watson Indy-style, front engined roadster. We all hope to one day become engineers at racing teams, and since all the great racing car designers, Gordon Murray, Bruce McLaren, Colin Chapman, among others have all designed and built their own racing cars, we thought we would try it as well. We seek advice and guidance, and also would like to know of any racing championships we could enter such a car in. Thank you.
