What is this mystery Formula car?

[Blackout]

I think it’s a modified version of the Renault R29 (2009 car). Yep, some front wings were that basic back then

Actually I think it may be even older. The nose looks a lot like the nose used on the r27 showcar.

And this one is harder to guess but It can't be an R27 car. It's a very strange frankenstein car with the R26 unique sidepods and a single keel (R26 had a V keel under the nose)... but the airbox intake looks very close to the R23 one and that car had a single keel too. So this might be an R23 chassis/monocoque with re-adapted R26 engine cover, R26 sidepods, a modified nose, etc.

The Lotus one is the same car but with "2009ised" bodywork https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... 213%29.jpg
