Rear wing. Probably just geometry changes. They lost the luveres on the cascade and that's the only change I could spot.astracrazy wrote:oh come on, I was only asking a question about it because somebody else mentioned the logo.

Was the FW and the floor the only updates? or have i missed something else?

More effective wing element. You don't need to shed drag or worry about stalling as much as on the rear wing.boyracer94 wrote:What would be the advantage of getting rid of the louvres on the cascade elements?
Not really. It has a very, very low aspect ratio, which results in a lot of induced drag. You are not really limited in terms of profiles that you can use, except the rear wing which only allows 2 element wings. It is in fact much less efficient than the front or rear wing. The advantage is that it helps drive the diffuser and probably takes advantage of an area of relatively clean airflow to get a little bit of extra downforce when you need it.michl420 wrote:In my opinion a monkey seat is on of the best ways to produce downforce. Because you can design it in the most effective way. So maybe it brings just a little bit downforce but very effective.
