The livery tweaks enhance the look of the car.

the black/yellow combination does look better than when they ran with the white bit.
One question about the rear wing. Can anyone see if there is adjust for the upper element? it looks like the endplate is mounted directly to the element, surely thats going to be a little restrictive on aero tunning...? ed |

Indeed, the black outlines does make the whole car look more solid and greater visual impact.
The car looks good, and there are a couple of rather interesting aero details.. Renault seem to have taken the lead in terms of coming up with some neat aero design. Pardon me, but i think that this car, in terms of looks, would be a "better" successor to the F2003 GA. It does look like a design of F2003 brought a leap forward. Looks good, as long as the engine provides some grunt and reliability, coupled with Renault's good aero and handling, it's going to be a true challenger. |

Not a bad motor there! The black bits are a nice touch. And that nose reminds me of a '95 Minardi.

I like the look of the new car. GT_R is correct in saying it seems to be more of a development of the F2003-GA, particularly the side pods. As the R23 was likely the best chassis last season, I would expect that this year, the big 3 is ready to become the big 4. Fernando could play quite the spoiler this year, and Jarno too, particularly in qualifying.

I think the 'black' bits are actually dark blue.

Again very wide V spread engine....looks like it's even wider than previous F1 renault engines, that's why their rear end looks very weird and wide. Anyone knows of what the angle is?

Is it just me or are F1 cars these days just beautiful creations?
I really love this Renault and, apart from those little winglet things sprouting from the sidepods, it looks sensational. |

I actually think that rear looks interesting - it's good to see a bit of innovation.

What was the reason for the top of the engine cover by the airbox to be dark blue/black, when there was no logo on there? the same happened with the 1999 Jordan.

When he went back to his team & told them his car was missing they didn't think he meant literally.

Nice to see more yellow creeping into the car.
Bring back the early 80's livery! |
