Last year they did good job by packaging the FEE. This year without it there is free space and it looks they could exploit that with narrower sidepods.

This is R31 si that we could see shape of air intake doesnt change...

But additional side intakes are not here anymore. Maybe something a la Williams/McLaren


Exhausts are pointed to the inside of the car. Could they try to blow a small central wing with that?

E20 seat fitting
















Doesn't look like the R32 has the same nose as the Caterham, but it's hard to tell.

On the third image, you can see the nose junction (with no nose attached). It looks pretty straight.

I was just about to write the same. It looks straight as table.

On the third image, you can see the nose junction (with no nose attached). It looks pretty straight.

how do you see that in the picture, for me it appears that some rubber thing is lying over bulkhead.


edit: I can see the hole, but not the nose junction, it still could have some alligator eyes

[Lurk]

Not on the third picture. You can even see the "setup" hole for steering column and pedals.

There is also a small winglet near the cockpit (I think mirrors will be mounted above them) plus a small vertical fin (not sure it is the correct term) at the beginning of the cockpit.
Both are clearly visible on the first picture.

edit: (sorry, MS Paint...)


vertical fin is not something which is behind the car cause we you see it on the other pics too if you look carefully.

I'm not sure but I think that it has V shape but is hard to tell because of black colour.

This one is R30 I think.

The chassis is to be known as the E20 as its the 20th anniversary of the Ein stone factory.

Also its not Renault anymore sadly, its the Lotus E20 Renault for the mods to change the thread title.

Yes it looks more like the old car. I wasn't sure buecause of black paint. Thanks for notice

[PlatinumZealot]

[ESPImperium]

Must say, the teaser video makes me want to see if i can do this on my Gibson Les Paul!!! But my guitar rig is a mess, all thanks to F1 to a point.
