Renault R28

Very very very nice car, hope the livery doesn't change too much at the launch.

Very amusing as renault in their previous incarnation (Benetton) were the ones who perfectet the high nose and spawned a field of replica front wings. We now see them with posibly the lowest nose of the season. Just amused me that one

Very very very nice car, but I hope the livery is radically and completely changed at the launch!

The nose, is it similar to the one used by Benetton in 2000?...

the nose and not the wing!

I like the shape, still not liking that clowny livery

Indeed, i think they should lose one of the main colours. As few people said last season, the livery seems to excist of two parts, the yellow/blue one and the white/orange. As ING will continue being the title sponsor, the white/orange will most likely stay, so i hope they lose the yellow/blue a bit, or at least balance it. (As they will never get rid of it totally, because of the renault colours.) But i think they should make a choice.

The nose rocks. It does indeed look like a 2000 car, as did the williams fw29 with the dark blue livery. Good to see the low noses back (but they still are quite high, as the front wings are 10 cm higher than the pre 2001 era.)

Just change the yellow to the dark blue and you're sorted not quite sure what to make of this car yet though. Need to see a few more pics of it in action before I can judge properly but yep, from the front angle the nose does look pretty straight like a few years back.

Circuit Thermalito

Liverpool Waterfront Circuit (WIP)

i'm not seeing the comparisons to the B200, to be honest:







unless you guys mean the 2001 car, the B201:







then they changed it mid-season:



and look at this pic of Alonso testing the B201:

Hmmm you're right muks, in my memory it was different, more squarish.

When I first saw the nose of the R28 it immediately reminded me of the R22, but now looking at pictures of the R22 maybe not..

A21?

"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

what's an R22, Paul?

RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael

Also I have heard only about R202. :P

Kimi, so, Massa Fernando Sebastian is faster than you. Can you confirm you understood that message?

Its amazing to think how much cars have changed over the past ten years. Just looking at the 2000 and 2001 Benetton shows the leaps and bounds made in aerodynamics. Its quite impressive really.

I like the car, although I'm not sure about the nose. There's something about it that puts me off, possibly too square. I don't mind the livery so much any more either.

I want the Mild Seven colours back!! Sky blueee

i think the best looking Renaults from the modern era were the 2002 and 2003 cars, the R202 and R23, both shape and livery:


R202:

(don't like the Blue World NT livery though)



lol at all 3 of the drivers with short hair:




R23:

The R23 is most definitely a good looking car, its nice and simple, clean.

I liked the 2006 British GP livery from the R26. One of my favourite liveries that I've seen. Managed to nab a minichamps model of this a couple of weeks ago.

like I said the speed and the reliability of R28 is not yet quite there Alonso did ok laps but had an engine blow at the end of the test today.

that's not good, didn't coulthard's engine blow last week too? that's already two renault engines blown...
