More on the PS05!

Fox_Mulder
in ForzaMinardi.com Forum
Got this from a reliable source:
Finally the new car is not nearly as radical as that publishing company would have you believe, heavily sculpted, owing a lot to the Ferrari and Renault but not the ‘radical’ machine you’ve been told about. Still, it pulls in the punters.

    Thanks Fox. This falls more in line with Zsolt's words about the car.
  • Minardus
    Zsolt has seen the PS05 ??????:o

    When has he last been to the factory ??
  • MCSF
    Isn;t punters a bad word? Well at least not that great?
  • Petroltorque
    Thank God. I would be seriously worried if Minardi went radical. Best to stick with the tried and tested. Ultra narrow, ultra low rear end and heavily sculpt the sidepods.
  • Manni
    You see I'd rather go the other way.

    If you are really radical you could be ahead of the game, in aerodynacis at least.

    By copying the others you end up one step behind as they will end up evolving by the end of the season anyway. We won't get that chance.

    Remember we can't go backwards.
  • Ger
    I'm with you Manni I too would like to see some radical idea on the new car. We live in hope!
  • ATi

    No, 'punters' just refers to the general public.

  • MCSF
    What, that graffitti?
  • JumpeySpyder
    The "flip up" looks new to me ( is it new, or an old design )
  • forzaminardi
    the car didn't seem to be new

    Hell no. That's 2001 aero!

    I don't agree.

    I know I might get some angry by saying this. But if you're likely to be last on the grid. Wouldn't taking a gamble be great? I mean Minardi could be renewing and set a trend. I'm no expert on Minardi, but I don't think it would be the first time they would have done such a thing. Would it?
  • Minardus
    No, it would not be the first time.

    Minardi was the first team to use a titanium cast gearbox.
    Untill it was proven to be reliable in a Minardi during 1 season, the other teams (Read: TOIT) didn't start copying !!!!

    Spot on. It is the ONLY way Minardi will progress. I'm surprised Petrol of all people said no to a radical idea. The only reason I can think for him saying no, is cos he really thinks the team personnel at the moment are not capable of producing a radical concept of any benefit. I have my doubts too especially in the leadership within departments but hell thats how they prove to people like me that they ARE capable of developing worthwhile concepts....I say go for it.

    Don't be surprised Matt. He just doesn't have your flair for mediocrity.
