In reply to NXXN: I have photoshop. My design was done in Google Sketch-up. I'd like to get something better. Thanks for the info. I really like your design.
In reply to sixten: Very cool designs!

Try Blender(blender.org). It's free and almost as good as Maya and 3ds.

That's a TAD LMP. It's a British track-day car. Got very good reviews, but the builder hasn't been able to make a go of it.
Even though the recently released chassis image doesn't look compatible with it, this is my latest submission. I aimed for a small, nearly go-cart type rig and then added some sleek but not ground-breaking body to it. And to make it look a bit more upscale, I added some chrome components to it (not a big fan of chrome on sports cars, but I thought this didn't look too bad--plus, on higher specs it could always be replaced with carbon fiber, etc.).
Here's some 3D rotations around the model:

Exterior is almost finished. What do you think guys?
I'm more excited about the preditor than the car here.
Hi All, My first post, but been following the contest from the start.
Some great stuff here, especially like what sixten and NXXN are doing.
Here's my design , I'll try adding 1 image first.
Hi All, I'd like to introduce my design 818 WARBIRD .
I'm aiming for a unique but feasible design using stock wheels, lights (Hella 90mm), seats etc with custom glass windshield and custom polycarbonate windows, essential for a unique & coherent look IMO. Weather protection is also important, hence the removable top. Inspiration comes from classic aircraft ( in particular P51d Mustang).
Big Thanks to the contest organizers!
How many files is everyone submitting with their entry? I want to hit that sweet spot between so many the judges get bored and so few they don't know what the car looks like.
Related: What size (in dimensions and file-size) images are you submitting?
In reply to PC: Nice design! I especially like the projector beam headlights...

Peter, I don't know about files but just be sure you have at least the 3 angles they spec. You can make a great composition out of just 1 or 2 files by including multiple angles in each file if you wanted (see what Sixten's done). I would keep total files below 5, especially if each file doesn't represent a unique angle.
as for dimensions I wouldn't go past an 11x17 dimension, although it depends greatly on your ending file size from a practical emailing standpoint.
Thanks ScottyB.
I'm taking photos of the clay model I made and haven't decided on how to present it. If I knew the target was a computer screen, I'd produce a 72dpi file, if it was for print, I'd go 300dpi.
I have the bare model and the model with optional hardtop/doors.
Sounds like I should put some more thought into this and do something a bit more than just straight photos. 72dpi is probably a good bet...
Wait... are computer screens even 72dpi any more?
In reply to peter:
personally, for photos i'd just shoot it in 300 dpi in case they want to blow the file up in size when they see it. this is depending on how large the photos are physically.
Hello, soon over for me 
more than a week of correction and update ... Good luck!
looks hot. some really nice surface detail there.
Thanks for the comment leephi.
I think round projectors are the best way to go (haven't figured out where to put turn signals yet...)
The lights are such a dominating feature of any car, I think carry-overs always look a bit strange. Example below.
Keep going Krozn! It's the final lap!
Here's a couple, old school marker renderings.
