Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 Ok, I thought I'd do something different than the 'personality show' stuff on drivers, so here's a technical observation and question. Look at this pic of the latest aero-configuration of the Toyota... Edit: This was just too damned embarrassing to let stand. I'll keep the photo up as a personal lesson in humility, but the comments I made here were too much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 Oh for God's sakes.... No, I am not new to F1. I am, however quite embarrased by this little goof. Damned itv put that pic up for it's testing article and the aero-bit intrigued me, so I posted in the hopes of sparking some discussion. I never even looked at the rest of the car. Crap. Thank you for not rubbing that in. I'm sure others will, though Edit: Welcome, btw . Rest assured we are more on the ball here than I proved with this thread! Stick around some and find out.

sliderule 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2006 I notice a couple of humps where the front pushrods go into the upper part of the chassismuch like the Williams of 1997-98 on the Toyota's recent Paul Ricard Circuit pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
