Re: DDRS who will copy this now?

The biggest issue with this is that to copy it the other teams will have to go through new front load crash tests to ensure the nose section is strong enough after adding venting through it. Another issue would come from the fact they may have to modify the chassis to run the pipes to the front whic...

Unsubstantiated comments that don't look at all the facts.

Let's not get it twisted - if...

They may decide to go for glory just to get a result. Wouldnt be surprised if they sacrifice the driver that is second after first lap to allow the leader to drive away into the distance. A 30sec lead would help negate the tire wear issues with a free extra pitstop
