@GrandPrixDiary Back when F1 cars had a visual identity

[James Warren @RPMotoDesign]

While they are all incredibly detailed and no doubt take some painting, since when has this style become so used in 4 wheel racing?

[James Warren @RPMotoDesign]

Seeing a lot of special helmets done for F1 driver as this weekends Miami GP and can't help but think how good we have with designers such as Starline and Aldo Drudi and the many others that work predominantly in Motorcycle racing. 1/2

[James Warren @RPMotoDesign]

There seems to be a theme in F1 helmets that they all seem to centre around the curved/pointy graphic element just in different colours and directions (obvious exceptions such as Lando's)

@denkmit @ianwheeler It's because he was a wildcard a few rounds before in Montegi but running under a different team

Aprilia are trying to go even lower with the RS-GP's fairing to increase ground-effect performance. Check out the skid-wear blocks at the base of the fairing - they use these in F1 to check ground-effect clearance

#MotoGP Test Jerez

[Mat Oxley @matoxley]

Dani Pedrosa is back, using Maverick Vinales' vacant KTM RC16s, testing some minor aero tweaks etc

[Mat Oxley @matoxley]

First time I've seen a Desmosedici with a chain guide, designed to deal with the crazy forces created by starts and corner exits with ride-height devices engaged. Both MM93's starts at Jerez were perfect but the whole idea of racing is always to improve on perfect 😎😎

[James Warren @RPMotoDesign]

@matoxley Please don't let this innovation stop 😍

[Mat Oxley @matoxley]

#MotoGP is a prototype championship and this is what you call prototype kit! MM93 about to test his GP26 with swingarm fairings designed to clean up the all-important airflow at the rear of the motorcycle #marginalgains

Aprilia running a WACKY new rear setup in Savadori’s bike. USB port makes me think it’s a sensor rig not an actual aero component though!

@popsyosh34 @matoxley @Stavros6 Amazing thanks guys!

[James Warren @RPMotoDesign]

Any one of my learned friends know what suit manufacturer Anders Andersson is wearing in this photo? Taken in I believe 1986 but used through to the 90s?

@matoxley @popsyosh34 @Stavros6

[James Warren @RPMotoDesign]

@NeilMorrison87 Looks like they chopped the tail scoop to accommodate too

[James Warren @RPMotoDesign]

@matoxley Wish me luck trying to replicate that one!

@matoxley Using the 2025 seat unit presumably to adhere to the lower limit

[James Warren @RPMotoDesign]

@ScarbsTech @HRC_MotoGP I saw these on Zarco's bike too, my first thought was maybe sensors?
