With the lower DF requirements we are really starting to see different solutions.

I can see some important changes in JJR car and the evolution of TF.
Variante has some solutions in common with my car, but a completely different flow in the frontal area. It seems to be a fast car, but if it were not, it would be at least the most beautiful design.

I would hate to have a collision with the Mercury car...

Me neither...
Anyway, I'm actually seeing less changes on JJR car than i expected. Will that be enough to climb the grid, especially considering Mantium's recent performances...?
As for me, i have yet to receive the results. I've also stopped making any forecast about the performance of my car... So, i'm just waiting for the race.

Variante is back to his best
Interesting top speed for JJR, let's wait for the lap time.

Seems like Chris and Julien love suspence...
Meanwhile some considerations: JJR managed to design a great car once again. I wasn't expecting this performance from him at Sao Paulo, as i wrote in the previous post. Last race his car's efficiency wasn't great, but he managed to cut loads of drag... An improvement that could lead his car to victory. Well done!

Thanks Variante.
I expected much more downforce and my CFD prediction was a bit off official results.
My prediction is :
1.Variante
2.Mantium RAY
3.JJR ? ( CAEdevice )

To me it looks like Variante is back on top.
The other three positions will be very, very close though.
I think JJR, CAEdevice and my car will have very similar lap times.
I hope for my car to have a very slight advantage, esp. as it will keep the championship open until the last race.
TF's top speed is a surprise. I would have hoped for much more. But achieving that apex speed is a surprise as well. The downforce generation does seem to work.

I'm going to give more importance to top speed. So my 5cent on JJR, my car close behind, then Mantium (close as well) and CAEdevice.

Mantium and Variante are very close in both places... but it depends where CAE device and JJR come relative to them two considering they have gone for different set-ups; these medium downforce rounds certainly do make life a bit more unpredictable!

Very disappointing 4th place for me, I expected higher df form the setup.
CAEdevice is definetively out of the games for the challange.
I need a couple of weeks off... now my goals are winning a race and try to reach the podium.
Congratulations to Variante, most beautiful and fastest car!
Congratulations to Kineuton too, very near to the best teams.

Hm, doing the math now, my dreams about an open championship for me were a bit optimistic.
Congratulations to Variante.
Lets see who takes it home. You will have to do it with a second place though. P1 will be for me or CAEdevice.
