Probably a repost but have you people seen the Videos of the new R26R over @ RenaultSport?

The Nurburgring lap worth a gander, Link for those who haven't ...

I'd never seen the ring vids, so cheers

I tend not to read past the first few posts of a thread as if it gets to 3-4 pages or more it's always just an argument by then heh Exceptions are obviously threads like the JDM appreciation etc.

True, but I think your doing well overcoming your issues.

Not bad but what sort of time would it get on the std tyres? Cant be that much diff to the reg r26 on the same tyres

Its a beast for sure....

Cup tyres worth 6-8s per lap (roughly), so still between 5 and 10s quicker per lap.

And that faster time is just from stripping weight? Did they make any chassis changes? If not then by taking the back seats out a std r26, adding a cf bonnet and the trick rubber it must be identical? As it has no more power?

^ lol, stealing cat171's quotes ftl

Just read that they have made quite a few chassis changes to take into account the lighter weight. They should have gone for a bit more power imo, but they obviously didnt want to deal with the increase of warranty work when components started to wear more quickly...

Oh and I'll take mine in black (goes better with the cf bonnet imo) with red wheels!
