You're right 100%Hondafan :p :
very nice- i actuly really like it- great livery, june the 7th this thing will be looking good on the track
I agree.
And it seems that the 908 is better looking in real than in pics.
Anyway, that what I've read in many articles from journalists all over the media.
In action in its new livery !!! :p :

Does anyone have an idea why Peugeot have a high nose, other than to have more air going over the splitter (I presume)???
PS. I don't have a PHD in aerodynamics!!!!
Tough question!
As you said only an aerodynamics expert can answer here. Is Peter Elleray or Adrian Newey somewhere around?!
Anyway, let's wait Monza to see if it's efficient or not.
It seems that the nose/splitter aero is where most teams/manufacturers are directing their development effort. Porsche, Audi, even Lola have gone to raised noses. To my knowledge, the only design that has gone the other way is the HPD/Acura-modified Courage. Check Mulsanne's corner to see their new nose/splitter. I wonder if the more-or-less mandated undertray has anything to do with the new nose types; if a car needs more free-stream air feeding the sidepods (as opposed to the pre-heated exhaust from the front diffuser) the splitter is one of the few areas that can be developed to adjust the air going to the heat exchangers.Quote:

High-resolution pictures of the latest test days !!! :D
