[Fred@BTM]

hum, interesting, any ideas on power?

20,000rpm, oooh yes please!!

 

[puk_kai]

v8's but the new team Scuderia Toro Rosso(Minardi) got v10's, with the rev limited to v8's

 

[TELFORDS_LURK]

I think their down to around the 750 bhp area again, and I think they have a 21000 rpm limit but dont quote me on that.

 

[Ad]

yeah 750bhp is expected for the early stages anyway.

 

[Nick_R182]

I believe the colour on the F1 cars is racing blue of the 182s.

yeh revised aerrow regulations for this season again ...... note the changes with the rear wings on the new 06 car also the changes in the side pod shape and design for 06 , very narrow and drawn into the rear of the engine .

 

[rcp]

Very similar to the R25. Tighter rear bodywork thanks to V8 engine plus different rear wing are the most obvious changes. But there are a lot of changes under the skin.
