That's what Dirt Late Models in America do.scarbs wrote:I wonder if they can make the outer section break off easily, in case of brushes with other cars, keeping the inner section in tact, saves making a pitstop to change the wing?
Must be upper, you can see the the wheel in the lower right corner. Looks like their exhaust are higher up than the other lower exhaust solutions.Super racing wrote:Is that the upper or lower pick up point?
That snorkel has been there from the start, might be modified now though. It is the secondary exit of the F-duct.BreezyRacer wrote:That sure is an interesting snorkel above the lower beam wing. I guess for cooling? It would seem that it would compromise some downforce there.
And as for the exhaust .. where exactly IS the exit? It looks like it's still up high? Given that this is for a Friday test maybe they have both locations still available on the car?
A nice idea! But isnt the mechanism for moving the front wing element located in the outer section?scarbs wrote:The different mainplane suggests they are trying to split the front wing into two: one part in front of the tyre and the other part whose wake sits in the clear air between the tyre and chassis. this is why the vertical fence is so substantial, to seperate the two flow structures...

Looks like they moved it to those vertical fences like many other teams have.forty-two wrote:A nice idea!

Do you mean the "End-fence" of the wing? If so, it has been there for a long time on the McLaren. If you didn't mean the end-fence and instead you meant the new vertical section inboard of the end-fence, then why is there an access panel in the end-fence?imightbewrong wrote:Looks like they moved it to those vertical fences like many other teams have.forty-two wrote:A nice idea!
