Sauber C30 Ferrari

Anybody notice that the suspension is just like Ferrari's? The push-rods are carried forward by about 10 inches? It has potential for a real clean back end.

Yup James Key also said they made a special pushrod arrangement

Temperature stickers everywhere, plus the asymmetrical crash structure. I suspect each side of the car is a slightly different concept they are playing with to evaluate both at once. If not, it must have more air coming out one side than the other which could be KERS heat coming out.

They use the Ferrari gearbox, so really benefitted in suspension design.

I think here you can see how the exhaust blows into the starter hole. I like how they've aimed the exhausts at the center of the diffuser and used some gurney flaps to extend it around the crash structure.

Scarbs: Sauber are blowing the exhausts in a Vee close to the cars centreline and partly through the starter hole

P.S. Is this forum working really slowly today? Massive load?

because ferrari had to change there gear box to accomadate the change is suspension, sauber use the same gearbox so they also do the same.

Maybe interesting for some to see the rear wing adjuster from the Sauber C30 in action.

Cool pic, thanks!

Wow, I didn't know it is being adjusted so fast!

@Siskue: Yes, he did confirm it, as I posted it earlier. Nice drawing though.

Loving the car, I hate the livery though. I could do better versions on Paint. The suspension looks further forward then Ferrari's if only slightly?
