I don't think you have to announce this in the thread every time. I preferred the PMs so the thread stays clean.

I removed most of the off topic hypothetical upgrade posts, issued warnings and short bans for those who had previous off-topic warnings. As previously stated, car threads are about actual car parts, not hypothetical upgrades.

Rumoured upgrades have always gone in the car thread. If not here then where do you propose we post them?

The car thread has always been about what's on the car, only. Rumors of upgrades have always gone in the team thread.

Sutton has first Pictures from Spain. I hope it's ok to link.

So Cannonball Exit stays it seems.



And from AMuS:




Nothing interesting so far.

Edit: hmm somehow i think at least the lower Part of that Sidepod(where the Mounting Holes are) is different. It didn't have that inward bend under the SAP Logo before right?
It hould at least not be the ones from China as they labeled them freshly in Barcelona.


Edit 2: Apparently no new Noses this Weekend according to Tobias Grüner.

Is it me, or are the rads a little further inboard?

[Thunder]

Rads look the same as China to me.

[PhillipM]

Yep, it was me, eyes playing tricks on me when looking at the Kevlar behind, looks closer than it actually is in the first picture, apologies.

[Holm86]

Is the exhaust tapering?? I think it looks like it. Thought only Mercedes would run a megaphone style exhaust.

[KingHamilton01]

disappointed to see a lack of visual change's, would have thought the sidepod's would be different! still could be I guess.

No change in the FW from China.

[CptPeanut]

Heard through the grapevine that there are subtle changes to the FW, new brake ducts and a new rear floor and diffuser. Anyone got any pics that could confirm?

I *think* I now see a small change to the curve of the upper cascade, but I can't see anything else.
