OK, updates for Australia. This is almost a B-spec car really, the tub would have needed crash testing again.
The nose is now thinner at it's tip so more air goes under it, and I've taken inspiration from Red Bull's letterbox nose inlet to create a much larger intake for 'driver cooling'
. The driver would be
very cool but this air then exits the cockpit through a hole into the sidepods where it flows over the radiators which means smaller sidepod intakes and more air to the rear. The mirror supports are shorter now as well.
This shows the modified front wing better. The flaps have been extended inboard as I have found more DF at the rear and needed to balance the car.
The rear of the car is where the major changes have occurred. I've added an intake which I think is legal (but would be happy to be proved wrong) above and behind the sidepods which houses another radiator and thus reduces the size of the sidepods. Also the new exhausts use the system I posted a diagram of a while back. Very little exhaust exits the channels I have cut into the sidepods, most goes into the intakes within the channel. This captured exhaust is then routed to the diffuser via long floor mounted pipes, just like last year. There are cutouts in the footplate to help form a vortex and a new fin on the rear floor as well.
Other changes include this new cooling exit which creates some down-wash to get more air to the beam wing. The channels in the rear wing endplates are gone replaced with a simplified endplate F-duct. Haven't made the slots yet but I'll get there eventually. The rear wing has
slightly more AoA and I've made a monkey seat (not pictured) for the high DF races. KERS batteries are located low down, right across the floor and parts of the floor are made from thin heat resistant materials so the engine etc can be mounted lower without damaging the plank, I forgot to mention these last two things earlier so there you go
