Force India VJM05

[Testarossa2012]

is this just a mounting point or are they upto something?
also what direction are the exhaust facing it looks almost like they're facing straight up =S

That's an strange artifact.

Look at my photos in Jerez: Click here

Where did you take that photo?

Not really strange. it reduces lift under the engine cover by keeping the air flow as horizontal as possible.
Imagine if that separation wasnt there, the air will blow up to the top and pressurize the engine cover.

FI gearbox

Scarbs tweeted that as Lotus. Which one is it, I have no idea myself. Can't even find info on the brakes used by either team for their 2012 cars

[Blackout]

Yeah, must be the Renault (ap racing brake calipers + angle, blue temp stickers on the lower wishbone...)

FI gearbox

That's Lotus's lame metal gearbox. This is FI's baller Carbon Gearbox.

[Blackout]

'lame' titanium Lotus Gbox is still lower at the back so better for the aero

how come the crash structure is a different case to the one in the background? is there a shaped part that goes over the top of what we see in the front crash structure to make it like the one in the background ?

wild exhaust area

[MIKEY_!]

There seems to be a channel inboard of the exhaust exit that gets deeper towards the rear. Are they directing the exhaust towards the central beam wing area with this? Also why is the start of the channel (furthest forward) so abrupt? What is there to gain from that shape?
