Renault R30

[newbie]

if you follow the general development of the R30 its pretty clear that renault simply dont have the budget and resources for developing the F-duct. massive potential in such a device.

The R30 is now the "best of the rest" in the standings, with Renault joint 4th with RBR-Renault at 18 points, and the first non-"big 4" team to overtake a "big 4" team in the standings That's where the RB6's reliability has got them.

In race conditions, the Renault can beat the Mercedes.



the holes and the nose a la R29

Look at the DDD holes!

[newbie]

those 'louvres' are exactly what Ferrari want to introduce with their diffuser upgrade. the MP4-25 also has these

[PlatinumZealot]

How are those holes legal?
Looks almost like a triple decker. I need to see it from more angles.

To help in providing proof that the current Renault does not have a McLaren duct, take a look at the sharkfin. It is not connected to the rear wing. Currently, every implementation of such a system has a duct inside the connecting part of the sharkfin.

Unless Renault have devised a teleportation system to move the air from the nose to the wing, I think it is safe to assume Renault do not have this.

Awesome, thanks!

Okay, how is this legal? Please explain to me how it fits within the rules, I for sure can't..

I think when viewed from a perpendicular view the gaps will close up.

I think when viewed from a perpendicular view the gaps will close up.

Or maybe when viewed from below there's no bodywork above.

[marcush.]

this must be the best DDD underfloor picture ever..wow..

[sh^rkbo0ts]

Wow. Rules really are made to be broken.

[manchild]

Flat floor below bodywork rule stands only for area between wheels (wheels, not axles). For that same reason nose has no flat floor below itself.
