Good new video on http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2010/05/v ... a-package/ about the lotus update.

Very good little video, I recommend to everyone.

wow, I really like how Lotus are doing this. It is awesome for fans to get such an insight into all this. Kudos!

I have always had a somewhat dim view of Gascoyne based on the publicity he gets never matched by results for his designs. His objective and frank assessments and general approach in that video has certainly made me see him in a much more positive light from now on.

I think we should all thank Mike Gascoyne for that video.
He is definitely developing Lotus F1 in the spirit of Chunky and I for one appreciate his methods.
Of course he will not give away any up to date secrets but what was covered gave a great deal to FI and to the fans.
I will keep my fingers crossed this weekend, anything over a second gain will be very difficult IMO but if it happens it would be a wake up call for the others.

Just two frames from the clip - hope we will see this wing today :]

Can anyone tell me the trade name of that blue foam in the pictures of the front wing. I know what it is; I want to look for the local supplier.

Looks like Styrofoam to me.

I'm quite interested to see what their cascade will look like for the front wing.

Now that front wing (the cascades in particular) look suspiciously much like the TF109

Twitpic doesn't allow hot-linking, but you can use imgur.com to re-host it, works perfect, much much better than imageshack

styrofoam is not dense enough to provide the support needed for a jig.
this is tooling block ,a very dense epoxy or urethane I´d say as Ureol or something along these lines.
see:

the jig cannot be made of material than will give as the bonding will inevitably pull
with big force on the parts when curing...

I think it's called depron foam.

edit: just read marcush's post, he has a good point.
