Renault R29

Found some photos of the latest straight line tests. They have some new parts and a package that looks set for monza.

New front wing end plates, new rear wing, new inner wheel rim shields (comparison with hungary)



New rear wing, new diffuser (comparison with hungary)

According to Alonso the R29 development has practically stopped now, and that the car they had in Valencia will be pretty much what they end the season with.

What about the package Grosjean straightline tested it seemed to have upgrades which looked like a Monza spec are they gonna run that or will they just stay with the Valencia car. Because that Monza spec car looked interesting with the curved area on the wing.

Well, they'll have to have something monza specific, and I guess that it is what we saw on that test. But I don't think ther will be much more

Yeah your right just the Monza Special flex their muscles with that weak Renault engine well in the Red Bull's it seems weak.

Is that the access hole for the wing adjustment mechanism under the nose there? Much more efficient placement than at the wind end plates.

Maybe it is ballast compartment, so they can easily change weights?

wont you think it is pretty unlogical as then your car would be underweight.
