Damn that looks like they're on another level versus everyone else w/r/t the level of aero detailThunders wrote:And the new Parts keep coming....

Looks like they've taped off 80% of the rad. A slim slot for electronic cooling along the bottom rim. And some vortex generators.Morteza wrote:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CcjYVDdWAAA4NYc.jpg:large
80% is right! Holy crap, that's crazy...seems excessive, even for testing...that has to hurt aero, too. Anyone else confused?Owen.C93 wrote:Looks like they've taped off 80% of the rad.

"Sort of" indeed. If we can agree that over 50% of the radiator is closed for business, it would have to follow that the balance of the lost cooling is being handled by that relatively small intake. I can't imagine this being likely.djones wrote:If they are testing with over half of the radiator section off, then I wonder if we will see much smaller side pod openings at some stage.
It would sort of fall in line with the huge air intake fitted. I mean, it was strange to see that so big, but normal side pod openings.
I had considered that. But the amount of taping seemed excessive. That much covered would really slow the car....and with just that little patch in the upper corner available for cooling? Looks like something you'd do if you were trying to overheat the engine and kill it.e30ernest wrote:Maybe they are testing reliability for hot weather or running behind other cars.
