Your work looks great. When I saw the shifters, I thought about the actual ergonomics and knew I have medium hands and there would be no way to manipulate something that big.
But don't interpret that as not liking your work. IndyCars are always a great looking subject and you are doing them justice.
Has anyone done one with the new halo/windscreen combo?

The left hand shifter is the anti roll bar adjuster. I know it was on the early 90's Indy Cars, but was that still the case by 95? That's a good question Adrian. Basically had they gone totally fly by wire in '95? I doubt it, but maybe they had.
I had the opportunity to sit in Jacques Villeneuve's indy car and play with the knobs and levers. That was mid 80's, Jacques the elder (the uncle), the Canadian Tire car (March I believe), and it had 2 sway bar levers on the left, strictly mechanical.When they changed to hydraulic servo assist I couldn't tell you. They also had Johncock's Indy winner there, but I couldn't fit in it, lol. Gordy must have been a much smaller man.

Adrian, I've got one question for you. Those 2 bare metal pieces on the back of the top of the wing, are they supposed to represent Gurney flaps? I'm impressed in your greater then 1:1 scale how perfectly they're positioned.
