in fairness, I have been up since around 6:20ish
(considering I have worked shifts that start at 6:30-7am, its nothing really, just means I go to bed around 1-2 hours early)

Can you guess this one.
Heikki Kovalainnen, 2009 pre-season testing in Spain, using a hybrid 2008/2009 Mclaren car as they had development issues with their 2009 car thus were using a modified MP4-23 with 2009 wing and diffuser (and reduced aero appendages) to gain a better understanding
EDIT - only front wing 2009 spec, rear wing was 2008 spec

I think it looks fairly decent tbh. Although shows what a mess McLaren were in at the start of that season.

agreed, I wasnt keen on the box RWs used between 2009-2016. Next wear's might look slight disproportionate a they ill be taller but the front wings should look better (based on renders I have seen). I am very curious to know why f1 is so hesitant about implementing sculpted (venturi tunnel) floors as all series have shown this improves racing (the irony is that the new gen FE car seems to have gone for less pronounced tunnels but a massive diffuser)

speaking of diffusers, from what i understand, the diffusers should been spread out as much as possible, yet the pre-2009 cars had very weird shapes in the sense that the sides were slightly raised with only the central section being significantly raised. Im not an aerodynamicist but have an amateur interest in it
So the ball is now in Quasa’s court,
To keep things moving in this game I will set a limit of 120 hours from the confirmation of a correct guess until the next car needs to be posted.

Hmm, I interpreted that as the next car needed to be posted within 72 hours of a correct guess, open floor after that, otherwise the thread just wouldn't move, happy to be corrected though.
And correct (it's Estoril).

That is the correct interpretation.
So @quasa has until 10am U.K. time Monday 31st December to post the next one.
