I was wondering, how much different the simulation would be from stock models from Turbosquid: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/formula-1-season-2020-3... The article mentions there were some problematic areas in the extracted model. So I am quite skeptical that the model is indeed more accurate than what you can easily get from legal sources.


Agreed, that definitely sounds fishy as hell.

Organizations where the big $ is on intel property and R&D wouldn’t be dumb enough to give the actual schematics to some random intern building an app. There are some serious security controls and mNDA around that data, for all internal parties, external parties and suppliers. Think about it, they must collaborate with dozens if not hundreds of parties to get to a finished products, and some amount of information must be circulating to achieve the purpose of their relationships. If those were to leak - they’d leak to the competitors first and it’d be a disaster for the entirety of the upcoming year(s) as the improvements tied to their new designs would now be considered available on all cars. It doesn’t take two dummies to think about that, soooo.. to avoid losing hundreds of millions, what do you do as an organization? Data classification, risk assessments, tight security controls, procedures, and finally mNDAs for the instances when data do have to be shared.

Furthermore, as it was pointed out on Reddit, the model appears to be made of parts that are valid for 2020 regulations, some parts for 2021.. in other words, it’s just scrap.
