Nice stance at the top there 
I think the design should be a bit more futuristic.
8 Speed? Oooh  |

| I think the idea was good, but your final design is too squared, no really cool forms. I give you credit for the front design, which is awesome |

The "squareness" was predicated on the Chaparral 2j design of years ago, specifically known as the "Vacuum Cleaner" racer, as this shape allows the entire body to be sucked down onto the track surface, gluing it to the road at high speeds. While this design dose not have the "fan" like the 2j did, it dose have another innovation borrowed from recent F1 racers, the "Down force Vent", which is located in the same position as was the vacuum fan on the 2j Chaparral. !!!  |

Tradition demands that racing cars be sleek and willowy, hugging the ground like crouched felines. Hall's Chaparral 2J looks as if somebody had carved it out of a giant block of soap. But Hall is an engineer, not a stylist, and about form following function. After 19 laps of practice Jackie Stewart climbed out to proclaim, in his thickest Scottish brogue, that the 2J "has more adhesion to the road than any car I've ever driven."...Oh, & He was within 1 second of the Track Record as well !!!!  |

Design seems to vary with each sketch, but I really like the top one, cool idea Peter!

I will give you a 7 for the front design, but the idea of a boxy car isn't really design as I like it. So even though it is a good idea I dont like it.
Design - 7
Presentation - 7
Work - 7
All - 7 |

| This is nice, would love to see more designwork on the rear, it doesn't catch me really. Cool front though |

I think your idea is on point,you should have put more of your freehand work in it some more, the profile view looks pretty good and 3/4 rear isn't bad.
