Some more media of the forthcoming Williams FW31 has surfaced, this time in the form of a short teaser video of the car in motion. The car is still in development but appears to be visually complete.
I’m looking forward to seeing an extended clip of the car being driven from the cockpit, but in the absence of such footage this teaser more than suffices.
The iRacing Williams FW31
It’s not out for at least another three months but a recent preview in the latest InsideSimRacing episode had a very interesting segment on the AT&T Williams FW31. The graphical model appears complete and the car is driveable in sim which is a good sign.
I was wondering what variant of the FW31 we’d get and it appears to be the early season model / Australia GP. The car should be available to drive as we start the next season (2010 season 4).
Announced back in January 2010, iRacing have been working on their version of the Williams F1 FW31 – slated to be the absolute top tier open wheel racer in the iRacing.com service.
When it was announced there was a glimmer of hope that the car would be available for use in time for the iRacing.com World Tour event in July (the ‘F1′ event at Silverstone). That goal was a bit too optimistic as it seems likely the event will now use the Lotus 79 instead.
Nevertheless engineering work is continuing and iRacing released a very early development shot of their FW31 in action. Clearly a long way to go but a very interesting glimpse into the early stages of the car modelling.
