In that case, onto simulating some RBR style sidepods with tunnel, then simulate some new mclaren style sidepods when we get to see them fully,

Will publish upside down L pods for comparison aswell

EDIT:
will show some images after sunday's race

[ParanoiD]

for the drawing,

I think you cant easily just turn it upside down. If you do, you have to reconsider all the parts at the front and behind the sidepod.

Yeah i know but Mclaren do have experience with it since last year, but its obv they arent doing anything like tghis to the sidepods from the pics we see above.

[Jef Patat]

it looks to me that the front bottom of the sidepod is further away from the center of the car, making it wider.

Looks the same as the wing used in Silverstone

Pretty sure it's an optical illusion, train your eyes to see it curving away from you, and you'll suddenly see how it really works... more like this:

Code: Select all

I have to admit, when I first saw it, I saw it coming towards the camera again too.

I thought that at first aswell but it's just another trick reflection from the pesky Mclaren paintjob

Great comparisons, you can see how different the Vodafone paint is in its positioning.

Cant wait to see it put together tomorrow.

Yeah so the undercut is much bigger and more edgier, or more flat on the bottom rather.

Uh no, quite the reverse.
