No. The placeholders are there, but the source is slow.

Here are some pictures I took of the exhuast. I was in the doing the pit lane tour when I turned around and Force India had setup to do some practice pit stops, I was standing right next to the car so I was able to get these high res shots.

Here's a video of the practice pitstop (just uploaded so might still be processing):-

They're still lacking the holes on the floor ahead of the wheels, and the modern efficient brake ducts that don't stick out in the open.

Btw, thank you for all of the pics and videos Diesel.

Interesting to see how...simple their front wings are compared to others like the top runners and teams like Williams and Sauber. I'd be curious to hear what DiResta and Hulkenberg feel about front downforce levels for the car.

you can put more front downforce only if you have good rear downforce, in force india case, simplifer front wing means maybe better top speed, but real reason is lacking rear downforce.
