Good morning everyone,

I have applied the suggestions that were made, particularly regarding the front and rear brake areas.
Unfortunately, the regulated volumes I drew were done by eye, because I could not find the precise details of the FIA regulations.

As for the rear cascades, I moved them back by about 200 mm.

Another modification was made to the exhaust. I noticed that, on the 2026 cars, the exhaust pipe axis is lower than on ours. This also explains why Ferrari managed to create that small wing that takes advantage of the exhaust gases. Considering that, in our case, everything is a compromise because the exhaust system is the same for everyone, I added a slightly greater tolerance in the wing pylon volume area in order to potentially allow similar solutions.

Important note: since I slightly modified the exhaust position, the exhuasts BC surface has also been modified.

Please let me know if there is anything that should be modified.

Great work. My only feedback would be about the cascade. In my opinion 200 mm is too much, the upper end touches the rearwing endplate with this change. What i observed via photos suggest that moving that box back should be around 100 to 150mm.

I confirm that 200 mm is probably too much. I would propose 175 mm in the next release. I am waiting for approval of V04 from the staff before releasing it (probably as V01, if officially approved).
