Marketed wheel fairings on Honda RA108

Indexed: Sun Apr 20, 2008 @ 09:45:18AM 7 months 1 week ago

All teams have been very busy testing their new wheel fairings during the Barcelona test, but Honda have added an extra bit of value to the wheel covers. Essentially, the covers are a carbon fibre shield that helps with the cooling of the front brakes. Despite being very useful, they generally don't sell well to the wide public as they cover up shiny magnesium wheels. But Honda comes to the rescue by painting their new fairings in their blue and green earthdream colours. No doubt more teams will follow.
