Caterham CT-05 Renault

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

RWEP concept that was never built. Didn’t expect them to come up with this style of endplate a couple years before McLaren!

Ferrari had this RWEP design on their 2013 F138 IIRC.
