Hi all, with the recent F3500 one-make (actually two-make) event in the weeklies, I was wondering if anyone has recognized the original vehicle(s) from which all customizable parts (front, side, rear) for both the A and B are "copied". Iirc, someone mentioned the front nose on one of the two as coming from a Williams, while someone else saying they see Jordan references in one modifiable part. Is there a complete list of these?
Thanks in advance!
 
On the F 3500 B, the default front looks like the one on the Tyrrell 020, Option A looks like the one on the Benetton-Ford B192, B193 and, to some extent, B194 (rarely used as the B194 used taller sidepods) Option B looks like the front used on the 1991 Schumacher Jordan B191.
I'm talking by heart about the rear spoilers, but the one with two vertical pieces in the middle looks like the one installed on the Tyrrell.
On the A model, the default front is similar to the Williams-Renault FW14, but the side pods are quite different from those on the FW14B. To me, it's also reminds me of the Ligier Renault JS39. Option A looks close to the Ferrari F92A/F92AT, while Option B looks close to the Mclaren MP4-6.

Edit: I guess that the rear spoilers represent cars before 1994 season, as from this year onwards, the inverted V shaped lower spoilers became a trend.

Please post pictures for a better visual explanation, thank you.
 
Close, but not quite. However the 1993 Footwork FA13 is pretty much an exact match and the default rear wing fits it very well too.
You're right, looks more like the Footwork. After checking, the side look of the Jordan can't be recreated properly on GT7.
I'm going to put some pictures of the real cars for reference.

Tyrrell 020 (please note that the car pictured here is an early model, the 020C from 1993 had a lower nose)

McLaren MP4-7 (you can create an almost exact copy of this car with the F3500 A, the semi racing exhaust sounds close to the Honda V12 engine)

Ferrari F92A (another car that can be well recreated using the F3500 A. Install the racing exhaust to get a sound close to the Ferrari V12 engine)

It looks that the guys at PD love the 1991, 1992 and 1993 F1 seasons, both F3500 models seem inspired by cars of that period.
Hope this can help.
