That car is a couple years old but my how sexy the RB chassis is. Designed by Adrian Newey, one of the most amazing aerodynamicists in the world, it is always a contender.

The wide rear wing and low, sculpted front end and wing give it away as an older car. The newer cars have been redesigned to fit with rule changes limiting downforce all around to promote more passing, meaning a taller, skinnier rear wing and many differences out front.

Awesome shots though :clap:clap I love me some F1!!!!:bow:bow:bow


Here's a shot (not mine) of a new F1 car....notice how tall and skinny the rear wing is and how wide and less curvy the front is. Also, the little air bending winglets have been removed per FIA rule changes.

Thanks Matt.
There wasn't any info around and I haven't seen any F1 yet this year, a couple of years old or not its the nearest I've been to one of these beasts.
Its probably a good thing it was an older model as otherwise some smarta$$ from round here would have had it away for a joy ride. :rofl

On 2nd thoughts if they'd realised they'd probably want this older version - it can go faster!

Oh, they're still turning some fast laps (read: as fast as they were with the increased downforce and horsepower of previous years :huh:huh:huh)

Formula One is one seriously incredible sport with INSANE amounts of money spent, some of the most talented engineers in the world employed and is the base for some seriously minbending technology and handling characteristics.

Thanks for posting the shots....I am a F1 fanatic and absolutely love seeing the older cars. Things have changed a lot in the last few years.
