Force India VJM08 - rear suspension updates
Force India has developed their car in phases this year. A new nose concept in Austria was followed a race later by almost a B-spec car in Great Britain. And in Singapore they have brought an interesting package of updates comprising a modified diffuser, rear wing, front and rear brake ducts, plus other minor bodywork updates.
The drawing above concentrates on a small detail to show the continuous work that is going on to derive better aerodynamic performance from suspension parts. The red arrow highlights a bonded fairing on the front arm of the lower wishbone. This area is regulated and the width is set here to comply with the rules.
