Lotus E20 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.

Read this topic and you see, that almost all mentioned features E20 obtained already.

As Allison said the car has potential for development which is encouraging.

When and where he said that?Link please.
Monday

Sh** I red the french translation of the ITV and it says "surprises" while the original in english says "tweaklets"
Will the car in Australia be exactly as it was at the end of the Barcelona test?

We have the odd little tweaklet planned for Australia if you look closely.
La voiture qui courra en Australie sera-t-elle identique à celle de Barcelone ?

Si vous regardez attentivement, nous avons prévu quelques petites surprises pour l’Australie.

Looks like the new Gbox havn't an independent radiator like the R30 (hence the removal of the additional F-duct styled intakes on the air box) . Its radiator could be merged with the two big ones.

Different casing with the lower wishbone moved backwards presumably to help with the exhaust like RBR did.

If it doesn't have an independent radiator then what's that stripey thing mounted to the top.

Interesting... the intake (Rb8 like) is visible when the nose is mounted.

Do you have the complete photo ?
