Red Bull RB8 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.

Anyone can recall if RBR were running flo-vis on the updated RB8 during the last 2 days of the test?

I've started moving the exhaust blowing posts to the exhaust blowing thread. Please continue the conversation over there

Why would all the posts be moved? They pertain directly to the RB8, which is the title of the thread. In other threads when they get off topic, it's repeated that the conversation should "remain on the car, not the team, or drivers or anything else".

*edited for grammar(switched the pertain to they pertain)

It's how the threads work here. You discuss the car, find new parts or certain systems on the car and the discussion is broken off into a more focused thread.

Otherwise it just gets out of hand and a thread that's meant to be about the RB8 turns into the deceleration of exhaust gasses in a low pressure zone with concave bodywork etc.

If your talking about the photos that i've posted remember thats in its "Shipping" phase as ground crews, freight staff etc handle the car thus they place dud parts, or non essential "show car" parts" to prevent photos being taken of the brake ducts etc.

It will change on Thursday morning I assure you, having my breakfast then heading back down to the circuit.
