The Megane's livery.
Am I reading too much into the lack of Renault badges? Obviously, not a manufacturer team, but not allowed to run branding either?
Has inboard brakes (wow) and a non-Renault new-build engine.

I have spent most of my lunchbreak zooming in on these pictures and having a bit of a geek out! There is a cutaway on the Top Gear site that is really good as it gives a better idea of the internal configuration of the car than any picture.
I am really curious to learn the benefit of the rear radiator setup: are they using the radiator air as part of a blown diffuser setup for the back of the car?"If in doubt... flat out!"

Perhaps the radiator is in the rear due to packaging involved with the engine being longitudinal? That and, traditionally, radiators have been rear mounted in RX for years before VW changed things up.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Apologies, my previous post could have been clearer! The positioning of the radiator isn't what has me so intrigued, it's the layout: pretty much every other supercar with a rear mounted radiator blows the air through openings in the boot. Prodrive seem to be directing that air down through the boot floor. I wonder what possible gain there is by doing that, which leads me to think that they might be using that air for some sort of aerodynamic gain.

Slight change to the Barcelona circuit layout as they've changed the startline...not sure why they've done it though.

I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere official, but a comment on Facebook suggested that the original start line wasn't wide enough to conform to FiA regulations. I do seem to recall it was pretty tight there last year
Shame, as it means the pack will probably be split up before they get to what was the first corner. Last lap jokers could be a lot more significant though."If in doubt... flat out!"
