Changes in aerodynamics, help them to be the fastest car and get the pole position???
hmm......one for mike me thinks........from an engine perspective the 5.5 Judd V10 engine that they used for that was pushing about 670bhp if I remember correctly........the new 3.4 V8 will be about 550bhp.......which is an 18% reduction in power........so that would need to be quite some aero improvement to achieve that kind of top speed again!!!.......but for sure I expect it to be quick
