Are you sure it's not simply unpainted carbon fiber giving funny reflections while it's actually just a normal curve?checkered wrote: The amount of detail is quite amazing. The leading edges of the airfoils are chamfered in varying steps;
That's the main flap, behind and below the top profile. This pic make them look like 1 piece.checkered wrote: The airfoil on the top has a long narrow gap "cut" into it near the end plate, one of the adjustable areas of the wing?

... perhaps we'll find out in time. Many teams, I think, have pretty wide profiles on their rear wing, though. Part of the explanation could be the stall-resistance of such forms. Those sure look like inverted leading edge cuffs to me. So why not apply something with a similar effect to the front wing? Admittedly I might be wide off the mark here. Maybe a comparison to Renault, who have struggled in fast corners, could prove interesting?You're right on that one.That's the main flap, behind and below the top profile.

When I got involved as a wrench for a pro motocrosser, one lesson that was drilled into me was to watch the mistakes more than the successes. It's desirable to build the right vehicle, but it's a huge setback to build one that is a mistake. So teams carefully watch those who are screwing up, to learn what not to do.joseff wrote:I wonder if anyone bothers to check out the Hondas...
