CaterhamF1 CT-01 Renault

[Forza]

Better look at tight rear end.

[Coefficient]

Should have added some teeth in the livery as Jordan did

I loved this car!

TBH i dnt think this car is that ugly...most of the cars will have a similar nose IMO, but you never know. I'm just happy to see a new car. Its that time of the year again!

Well if you love this car go buy it. Its for sale on ebay right now!

Here a better pic from the nosecone

[afiq]

Even tighter sidepods than last year despite having to add KERS batteries and radiator.

Pushrod

Not a pushrod. The link is only to hold the floor, like the last year's Sauber and launch-spec Ferrari F150.

Or may be the shadow from the pull-rod suspension

Ok sorry, I'm seeing the front shaft of the wishbone. Ok, like last year they've left off the linkage for the first pictures.

[NonNewtonic]

I'm actually very impressed with the rear of the car as it looks almost identical to the RB7 which is extremely tight as they save time by buying gearbox and kers from RB thus its pretty expected that they will have a similar rear as the RB but still very impressive....

Duck F***ing Ugly.

Rumor has it that the FIA are to introduce a mandatory Iron mid season so drivers can iron their clothes on the nose of their cars.

The last 3 seasons havnt had too many nice looking cars, the BGP001 and RB5 and posibly the T128 and R31 but this years class look as if the ugly stick has been out in the design office if that is what the cars are going to look like.

I think the FIA have ballsed up the rules, what they should have done is made the teams follow a chord length from the B-B line to a point on the refrence plane, meaning that tubs would have to be flat bottomed. Im thinking that they should have followed the BGP001 tub look, and made nose cones ton strech more than 300mm over the front wing and no more than 350mm higher than the centre line of the car at their highest point at the intersection of the front wing to the centre line.

Good news then. that means the floor is as light as possible.

Sounds very sensible. Teams must have come up with these platypus nose cones out of convenience.

[Alexgtt]

If it's fast it'll be beautiful.

Liking the rear packaging. Very RB7.

[Owen.C93]

Quite a lot of space around the rear wheels on the floor, I wonder if that will be a feature this year.

[Francesc]

Pushrod

Pullrod, they have RB7 gearbox, so it has to be pullrod. No wonder the rear end looks the same to last year's Red Bull.

And the exhausts seem to be blowing to the outer part of the rear wing.

[PlatinumZealot]

Looks like all cars are converging to the RedBull family line.

[Shrieker]

That nose is hideous beyond belief. If other cars turn out ugly like this too, well done FIA. Idiots.
