I'm pretty sure this is the first, maybe second time the MP4-26 has had this.beelsebob wrote:It's come and gone fairly regularly depending on the nature of the track.myurr wrote:Is that a new mini wing above the beam wing?
In years gone by that was what this thread would have been. Sadly as the forum has gotten more popular it has moved away from that into a general discussion thread...which isn't a bad thing, but sometimes I miss the old thread...volarchico wrote:We need a location where the pictures/designs of each car for each race are stored/cataloged!
Perhaps it would be wise to have a heavily moderated thread for each car containing pictures only, and a link into a discussion thread for each image's date.adrianjordan wrote:In years gone by that was what this thread would have been.

I miss bar555's compiled photos he would post every race weekend of updates. Hence why the old car threads were labelled (car name) aero-mech developmentadrianjordan wrote:In years gone by that was what this thread would have been.

I'm not sure how it relates to the sidepods, but in any case the little wing is usually used on high downforce tracks, you'll see most teams use it at monaco for instance.Javert wrote:From a foolish point of view, given the spirit of L/U sidepods (:D) it's a shame that these wings on the beam wing have been introduced so late
Seem a basilar way to use the peculiarity of that sidepods and get downforce

They look remarkably straight and consistent. Is this roughly what the end-plate slots and cutouts try to achieve? Does this minimize the inefficiency at the tips of the wing?ringo wrote:Am i the only one seeing the vortices on the wings here?
No mention of them at all?
open image in new tab to behold the 5ft long vortices!!
