2008 Jerez Testing Sept

Post

Is it just me or is this the Honda's 2006 car (the last one that was any good) in the current colours?

Conway was driving it.

It is the RA106
My guess is rather than modify the RA107 or RA108 sidepods ( which in both cases are tiny ) then they have used this car to package KERS.

Im not too sure on that though, just a guess.

Picture sites such as motorsport.com have the Honda labeled as the RA108. And the image below shows their copper grounding strip.

'Sawtooth-spike', would you please consider changing the topic to 'September 2008- Jerez test'? Or something of the like to set it apart from Jerez test's held on other years. Thank you in advance in case you consider my proposition.

Will that be the type of wing that F1 teams will run next season? It's ugly. Midget like design/size. Sorry for the term.

Well you better find the remote to turn off the TV because that's the 2009 regulation rear-wing and diffuser :|

You will get used to it when they all look the same.

The diffuser is interesting, now that looks ugly. Although, if it improves racing, it is beautiful.
Williams and proud of it.

Gp2 cars are a lot more appealing to the eyes now rather than F1 cars for next season. Why not throw in push cart wheels for maximum grip hehehe

i'm terms of look, then yer maybe your right, but speedwise, next years cars will be quite a bit faster at tight, slow corner tracks. Maybe even faster than 2004 on some trakcs...
