Caterham CT-05 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.

Such a beautiful livery wasted on such an ugly car.

Actually the coolest parts on this picture are the aluminium parts they use to jack the chassis. :) Is this what they use for safe transportation of the chassis?

They are fantastic, aren't they? I believe they are so heavily engineered because they try to save weight on all of the equipment which is flown around the world. A small amount of weight saved on 19 flights must add up to a good saving!

they use them all the time in the pits, whenever the nose is not on the car. During suspension adjustments, brake adjustments, alignment, suspension member replacements etc etc. I suppose the weight saved is nice too. Anyone got a pic of a similar bracket for the rear? I guess we won't see one on a CT-05 for a little longer though, depends how much we get to see of it.

Certainly looks like they like Photoshop, yes...

Not much downforce on that car judging by the way it's hovering...

This looks better. Too bad that black paint can not improve performance of the car as it improves appereance of its nose.
