Sorry if it is a repost

Force India reveal their 2014 car: link

Not much of a view of it really, but I don't think it looks as nasty from the side as was first thought.

The rest should all start revealing soon

Force India technical director Andrew Green said the nose design on the car in the picture was a "launch spec", adding: "Later, we will have an updated front end of the car, which potentially is quite different.

For want of a more intelligent phrase, that looks bad-ass. The '13 colours were just boring. I like the low noses too.

Daddylonglegs - 22/1/14 at 08:18 PM

I agree, it looks more like it means the business

Love the new force india livery, looking forward to the next week or so and seeing the rest of the grid!

Looks superb IMO.

Whatever all these new rules throw up at least the first few races are going to be interesting...

I hope you're right but worry when I read...

Will we be hearing different calls on the radio next year as a result?
We will hear different calls, for sure. We won't call out to change the fuel mixture, instead referencing fuel budget, or the quantity of fuel used per lap. Prior to the race the engineers will decide on the mix between fuel and electricity over one lap and we will have a target – or fuel budget – we will need to monitor to ensure we get to the end of the race. The engine engineers will monitor the rate of fuel consumption (both carbon and electric) and the driver will be told over the radio if he is over or under the fuel delta. He will have to manually adjust or alter the style to take this into account.

...from Renault's Head of Track Operations

But to go back to topic of the post, I do like the new Force India colours!

No new title sponsor for McLaren so the new car will be interesting...

Once a walrus, now an anteater? Hoping they do well this season

It gets more of a travelling circus every year, that's all it is.

asymmetric nose? interesting




not pretty though.

The new rules regarding nose height are leading to some interesting designs. Odd but interesting!
