They have said on record that this is just the shakedown spec, word for word Nick Worth said something like “all the little addons and flaps are yet to be put on at the first or second test”

Can anyone tell me the difference between a “shakedown” test and a normal test. I presume its the first run of the car, but is this not included in the testing allowance restrictions?

Mirrors is behind the test driver “crouching” in front. It’s not where most of the other cars have theirs. Looks like it is immediately on either side of the steering wheel

Just wondering if any pictures of the rear diffuser has been seen, as far as I can tell virgin have kept the back end rather a secret so far, anyone fancy a guess as to something exciting akin to last years debate? It was after all one of the defining factors in the early pace of last years cars. just an idea…
