Posted twice already.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. It is actually excellent aero wise ...except that it was designed for a Honda PU that has the turbo on top. They just took a chassis that had already been designed to fit a Honda PU and stuck a Renault in it. They didn't have time to do much more than stick it in and get it to work. Kind of like giving a pair of running shoes with High arc support to a FLAT footed person. They work and yes very high tech. They hurt like hell and surely aren't gonna help you run faster.M840TR wrote: ↑26 Oct 2018, 09:42It's quite clever indeed.

Mechanical issues aside, how is that good aero when it blocks air to the diffuser and clears it to the RW. That's just begging for drag.diffuser wrote: ↑27 Oct 2018, 16:12There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

The more I think about this the more I think that this has all been planned from last year(Firings and all). Maybe not as a plan A but as a plan B.
Well, I was talking about the PU packaging..obviously you're talking about the package as a whole.

No worries. It's kind of impressive how they managed such an extreme packaging like Redbull, even if they're polar opposites, in a much shorter time yet still remained relatively reliable.diffuser wrote: ↑27 Oct 2018, 16:25Well, I was talking about the PU packaging..obviously you're talking about the package as a whole.

Looks like it was on the other car as well. Some sort of sensor to measure airflow to the diffuser maybe?diffuser wrote: ↑27 Oct 2018, 16:36Looks like they've brought many updates ? ...
