Looks like split intercoolers and radiators, one each, in each sidepod.
The rear wing looks to have a lower AoA like it did last year.

Williams or Mercedes don't have such a tube at all, let alone such monster.I agree split intercooler 1 each side pod at the bottom quite long pipes.dren wrote:Looks like split intercoolers and radiators, one each, in each sidepod.

The car is packaged beautifully
I disagree. The rads and intercoolers are smaller. The different airboxes look more compact. But like as said above...much more refined than last year's
Exactly like last year.It seems there are two intercoolers, one per cylinder bank
Disagree. The RB10 had its intercoolers nicely separated from the exhausts by its sidepod air tunnel. The intercoolers were also very close to the turbo, closer than now it seems. And the intercoolers were fairly close to both the turbo and the intake manifold.The coolers are also further from the exhaust this year, which is also an improvement.
Post your pictures then. I can't see what you are saying.Blackout wrote:?ringo wrote:It's not hydraulics, those tubes are too thin. Maybe be relief as said, or some kind of cooling hose or something.

The packaging is very classic. Unlike the 2014 cqr. Did you see how the RB10 was packaged ?

This doesnt look like a refinement. This is a step back in many areas. The STR and Caterham had very similar packaging.

This year the intercoolers seem to be placed further from the turbo. Look how long the compressor-intercooler pipe is. And the intercooler sits just near the exhausts now. The RB10 was packaged way more aggressively.
Well, this car might be just a transition car... maybe a B-version is coming in Europe as Marco hints to it...
) I'm only talking about the sidepod coolers, especially their angle and layout...gandharva wrote: I'm also baffled by your STR comparison. STR9 hat an additional cooler mounted above the others. Can you show me that one on RB11?
Look closer. Basically the RB11 exhaust and intercooler are in the same room with no separations but the heat chieldings. And the distance betaeen them is tiny. While the RB10 exhausts and intercooler aere basically in two different rooms and had heat chieldings, the sidepod tunnel and the bodywork to separate them.exhaust moved further away from coolers (not sure how you come to the conclusion RB10 had it nicely separated... well if 2-3 cm is nicely separeted you are right
