Do you think that the proposed shape was done deliberately to look like a cobra head? DUH! :oops: :oops: :oops:

It was done to show how the air can be allowed to go under the car, yet still look reasonably elegant!

Not allowed, the cobra head would result in a closed section (§ 3.7.8)!
Dear FIA, if you read this, please pm me for a redesign of the Technical Regulations to avoid finger nose shapes for 2016! :-)

I see you updated your drawing WPT.. a nice compromise for the teams and the fans and a cool drawing.

As cool as this looks it will not be allowed unfortunately! Cross section must remain the same up to 250mm above reference plane.

Yes, I was meant to post it here last week. I still think it is a little optimistic, I'm working on some CAD models this weekend. :)

It doesn't quite conform to the regulations although it is very close. They will look nicer from the angle the image is at anyway.

This one is unconventional, but has a retro kick 8) Would definitely take it over the knob nose posted by scarbs. But I don't have much hope tbh.
