    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Ailerons is French for spoilers.

    Tyrrell 012 with Special Spoilers would be better.

    Are you sure? i allways thought an aileron was one thing and a spoiler another.

    Wings may be more accurate.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Keeping in mind ribatejo usually finds his info's on French car forums, I assumed it was French.

    Precisely.

    Yeah I thought about using wings, however spoilers = wings for me so... plus aren't wings usually on birds?

    Confusing synonyms aren't they?

    Actually this was the wing that was used on the car in the first few races.

    As for the looks of the car, I think that it looks pretty cool. The special, spoilers is it? , make it look futuristic.

    They went the unconventional route to try and create downforce with less drag. The car was already down on power so too much drag would further hamper it.

    Well they made it good looking, to me at least, and no one can dispute that it's interesting looking. Did it have any success?
