Lol @ R29

a car only its mother could love.

Though renault seem to have been hit by the credit crunch harder than we thought.
rather than go to the expense of painting it, they've just asked someone to come and throw up all over it instead.


didn't realise they'd switched fuel suppliers though.

they didnt, total own elf

God knows what they were thinking with that nose... i can only assume it's meant to work with the side bits to accelerate air towards the splitter. That's still not an excuse!

My favourites so far are the Williams and the Toyota. Never thought i'd say that

yes, the williams shape looks quite nice, but i will wait until the final livery is released to make final judgement

Totals managing director was jailed for accepting €15m in bribes and corruption charges. Bunch of others in the company were too. So Total are bad. ING are up sh*t creek, we all know that. It also has a Symantec sticker, which isn't good. The only way Renault could have worse sponsors is if they have Woolworths, MFI and Halliburton on it too.

no its not, mclaren are testing the 09 car with the 08 wing

Thats what the new mclaren rear wing looks like though.

You can only tell with head on and behind shots what rear wing they are using. I doubt very much last years wing would fit the car as the supports are different but I could be wrong.

The front of the renault side on reminds me of that Lola.

Thats what I like about McLaren. They build the best looking cars on the grid year after year, but they know that in the scheme of things, the 09 rear wing is such a minger that they refuse to publish any photos where people might accidently be able to see what it looks like (no low front profile shot like Ferrari did) and when testing publicly, they simply opt for an '08 rear wing instead. Classy.

I think I'm literally the only person in the World who likes the new Renault.
