Thats the RA107 my dear ;-)

Wurz is doing some relation laps before the RA108 debuts, probably tomorrow.

Indeed it's the RA107 in winter livery. Same car was used during December test sessions.

Check engine air intake which is part of safety structure, its not the same as last year. Who would reshape that crucial element just for testing on old car? Nose and front wing are completely new. Sidepods are completely new. It's the new car! or I'm wrong

This is a picture of RA107 on 4 December during winter testing. In my opinion this is exactly the same as Wurz was driving today.

Why would Honda btw say in their own press release from yesterday that Wurz will today drive the RA107? http://www.f1technical.net/news/8053

I'll bet it even runs faster in that white livery as it looks like a nice car! :mrgreen:

Looking forwards to a decent RA108 and a better livery...

Well, they never said that SA07 is RA106 but it surely was. :wink:

I agree, that's the same car from December but if it is not RA108 than Honda will be the first team in history to make special car for winter testing only. They're just not admitting it or perhaps this is what will officially become known as SA08.

BTW, the head protection isn't as high as with others 2008 cars

The engine intake has been shapped that like for ages ... Button used it a few times in the season. for some reason only Button for a few races.

It is indenticle to the RA107 in every possible way.

At least we know that the white testing livery has served its purpose. :mrgreen:

When the new RA108 comes on track today or tomorrow, you can be the first one to post pictures here, to make up for your mistake :P !
