Well tonights the night BigGrin

Lotus (Renault in old moneyFlapper ) are first to enveil their 2013 car

Looks like the E21 will be unwrapped live on sky sports news tonight at 7:15pm

Other manufacturers dates are as below

Lotus - January 28th, Enstone.
McLaren - January 31st, Woking.
Force India - February 1st, Silverstone.
Ferrari - February 1st, Maranello.
Sauber - February 2nd, Hinwil.
Red Bull - February 3rd, Milton Keynes.
Mercedes - February 4th, Jerez.
Toro Rosso - February 4th, Jerez.
Caterham - February 5th, Jerez.
Williams - February 19th, Barcelona.

Will be interesting to see if there are many changes to the recognised shape of F1

I know that the stepped nose that many cars had last year are looking like they'll be smoothed out

But with very few rule changes will we see any outrageuos changes?

Step nose shouldn't be an issue as apparently they're allowed to use cosmetic boards for cosmetic reasons so long as they have nothing to do with the aerodynamics of the vehicle :-) I am pretty sure the designers will push this rule to the limit! :-)

It would appear they are classed as vanity panels

With more red on the car it now looks like a cross between the black and gold JPS Lotus and Graham Hills' old Gold Leaf Lotus 49 - awesome!! ThumpUp ThumpUp

Check out some of the labelling on the steering wheel buttons as well, HaHa - obviously Kimis' wheel as can be told by the green button upper left!! Blink LOL

Obviously done as a spoof to hide the real set up. Glare

I think that front wing looks amazing!

Shame about the stepped nose, looks like the modesty panels weighs too much Confused

Interested to see how the rest roll out now

Ferrari and force india out today

Again no stepped noses and pretty much basic outline of their 2012 cars

Its the finer details you notice!!!!

Taling of which, has anyone else noticed how small the upper rear wing is on the Mclaren and the Ferrari?

Wonder what the aerodynamic improvement is on those!

Interesting to read that Jensen will have a red number 5 adorn his car in same way that Mansell had with Williams.

yeah I read that article in the paper yesterday about Jenson and the coverted "Red 5"

Certainly will be interesting to see if he can live up to the expectations!!

And yeah that Sauber looks amazingCool

Red Bull being as cunning as usual, no un-officail photo's were allowed to be taken, only the images they released we're to be used
They're playing mind games already Confused
