omg :barf:

barf indeed

im just reading autocar (week old mind) and they have a pic of the car before it was released. it looked much better, still yellow and blue but the blue was a very deep glossy metalic blue and the sun picks out hi-lights and really dark patches. reminds me of the sea, its got that depth quality to it

but now they have gone n ruined it by mating with a dutch firm, and by the looks of it you'd think they'd done it as a last minute job
 
analysis on autosport on the RB3 - no zero keel - twin keel

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/56506

and the reasons behind it seem pretty sound - it's an aerodynamically clean set up, allows for a wide range of geometry and is heavier... and the tyres are front weight biased apparently.

what is this keel you speak of?

i guess its something to do with the front/bottom of the car

the lower wishbones are attached to a protusion from the nose which is merged into a turning vane.
 
You know what... I like the Renault colour scheme. Its the overalls I dont like though

Also in Valencia, that's Badoer in the F2007

:D
 
Whap! I'm not sure how or why that happened in testing... is any station covering the practices? ITV?
 
oh so Alonso hit Badoer...bastard
 
The 07 has Red Rear Wing, 248 has white
 
I guess that was all they had since Massa crashed the new car.

They have 2 248's and 2 F2007's. Massa's was fixed that night. They are running comparision tests and gaining tyre data with the 248.
 
I was saving that! :p

anyways, speculation on the drop off of RB3's performance is down to wing problems - i.e. breaking off...


it's still good, it's still good.
