A little unfair don't you think?
You're more or less saying that everyone who voted for that one did so because the drawing is flashy and hence eye catching and not because of any design merit that it might have. "Supercar" is a comparative term and in reality has no definite meaning. Considering that the time period was 60s AND 70s; that stretches from the old curvey front engined Ferrari 250s to the later mid engined wedge cars and everything in that period that stepped beyond the norm.
I do agree about the badly defined "rules" and the vague brief didn't help. That's wht I asked what the judging criteria was before I clicked that button.
Anyway, I've got a little idea.
The next time someone wants to hold a forum comp, PM me and I'll sort out the thread and other related. I can sticky the main thread and organise links and what-not.
DM.
