    They do seem to have taken note of the shorter overhang - front and rear. Wonder how the aero numbers worked out; not just on paper.

    It will be interesting to see. The speed they reach on the straight at the Ring will give a pretty good idea of it's Cx and it's speed through the Karousel will give some guidence on downforce.

    ?
    Can't see how downforce plays any part around the Karussell, speeds are way too low and it's bumpy as hell. Unless you're taking the "high road" outside of the banking? Even then can't imagine DF doing that much.
    BTW I followed a (street) F430 through the K few years ago and cringed as it scraped it's undertray around the whole curve.

    There are lots of curves where downforce would play a big role but the K isn't one of them.

    Sorry I meant mechanical grip on the K and downforce on other turns there. On the K we pulled 2.8G+ in P 4/5 C.

    Luca can't even say four fifty-eight. His English is so limited he has to say four five eight. :eek:

    Not surprised his Italian spell checker is on the fritz as well. :D
