in the race car it was amazing, the road cars were the ones that it didn't seem to work well on from what I heard.

Shows who the memetards are, and that they should cry harder.

Any aerodynamics connoisseurs here able to tell what they are possibly trying achieve with the aero update?

Streamline airflow more directly into the radiator, reduce drag with the face not seeming as wide either.

Bunch of stuff possible,

cooling was maybe fine so they could reduce inlet area, less drag and smaller radiators for less mass

Maybe they were always having problems with AB, so they made the upper surface have a higher AOA to increase front lift and help that AB

Maybe the change in geometry was for downstream modifications or whatnot

Oh wait, it looks more like they raised the underbody front lip, so could be the opposite too high front AB or they just need higher volumetric flow rate into the floor, in addition to cooling

So much stuff possible you can’t really tell why but it’s fun to speculate

that seem like a big change, did they use all of the joker at once?.also, why the front diffuser so up high?

The bober look was surpringly enjoyable for me but I guess this is good too. Need to see it with a livery and not camo tho
