Renault R30

[Blackout]

The R30 has a 'new'rear wing (certainly a 'special' wing that provides more downforce for circuits like Barcelona etc...)

errm... isn't Spa done in low-downforce trim?

[Michiba]

Look like holes or tunnels

is that a split element on the lower rear wing? Seems like a few teams have a variation on this.

[spaman]

Could you be a little bit more specific? I don´t get what you are talking about.

[Confused_Andy]

I dont think its split, I just think that its the top of the diffuser that finishes infront of the wing.

Oh yes. Spa isn't a high downforce track.

I dont think its split, I just think that its the top of the diffuser that finishes infront of the wing.

Exactly

[Michiba]

there is a distinct line going across the the 'w' shaped wing, like Maclarens split wing

I was referring to the 'w' shaped wing, not the beam wing

That wing really is w shaped. Seems to be far more extreme than it was before, no?

Yeah, I can see it too. It's strange, cause I was sure, that the inlet has to be placed in the legal 15cm area on the front side of rear wing.

[Timomies]

am I the only one who thinks that that wing looks more like "M" than "W"?

[raymondu999]

kinda reminds me of the McDonald's M in a way

[mith]

I've always thought that it's more like 'M' I guess that we call it W because of some talk about innovative W-shaped rear wing Renault was about to present few years ago.

No, this wing is the 'old' one (appeared in Valencia). But in Barcelona, Renault used a second different wing; a smoother M shaped wing. See the first photo in this page.
