Belgium Tech Corner: New Caterham Nose




Caterham have delivered on their promise this weekend in Spa by implementing a new, easier on the eye, nose cone. The extended ‘finger’ is identical to the previous iteration, but the vanity panel has been refined considerably, resulting in a sleeker and, for viewers, stylish design. The old version is a very aggressive and clear attempt at driving air under the nose to the floor, and then directed for the Diffuser. However, the new nose is a less drastic attempt at forcing air below the chassis, but it does offer a higher level of aerodynamic performance further downstream due to its sleeker drop off toward the cockpit.
