Renault R31

[JaymzVsTheWorld]

So are Renault sticking with this layout of exhaust? I know people are calling it FFE but it looks more side facing, even pointing backword a little.

I wonder how much ahead in development of this exhaust renault are? Considering McLaren are testing like.... 4 different designs?

Actually I believe the buzzword is FEE, Front "exiting" exhaust

Thx
I think this diffuser is a bit different

They copied RBR...

Apologies, but I don't think that's what most people would call a diffusor, what you've posted is a front wing/splitter image, and actually, RBR copied Force India with moving the camera pods inboard on the wing pylons

Renault look to be the car to beat, the fact that Nick Heidfeld turned up and went fastest speaks volumes. Yes it's just testing and we don't know what fuel loads and tyre compounds are being used... but Heidfeld has never driven the car before, so top of the timesheets is impressive regardless, especially considering his mediocre performances last year at Sauber.

It really is a terrible shame Kubica won't be competeting this year

Most also thought the Ferrari was the car to beat when testing happened last year. But we were wrong.

This is their second fasted day during testing. First Kubica, now Heidfeld.

It's a shame, if car is that good as it seams, Kubica had the title wrapped up.

But than again, knowing that Mika Salo dominated the field during his replacement jump in Ferrari, and how for instance Hamilton dominated his rookie season despite Mclaren favoring Alonso, than any good driver(s) would have no problem in winning at least WCC title.

R31 has a new floor upgrade yesterday. Hope it can work as expected.

What's going on in the highlighted part?

I think that the hydraulics to the adjustable rear wing may be connected there and routed along the beam wing and then endplates.

Interesting design on the lower nose strakes on the renault. They really look like they've morphed into winglets. Skirting legality here?
