Thanks for posting Spud: that's really interesting.Amusing how in the 20 years between the older cars, not a huge amount changed (in plan view, at least), but in the 14 years to the 2022 car it seems to have turned into one of those huge American pickups. I guess the hybrid powertrain, developments in aerodynamics and driver safety all play a part, but it all appears to be in length and not width (as the Postmistress would tell Shed
).

-when I look at that picture I think with the small analoge one, I could still be a F1 driver looking at the simple steering.-when looking at the next I get confused and mixed up a bit... its gonna be very hard even around those days when my mind worked a tiny bit better then it does now.
-looking at the lastest with all buttons and options and and and, forget about it, its way way way out of my league, not even dreaming about it, but more respect for the drivers, you must have a computer head for such
but a great picture as overview how they have grown, but not in a 'good' way for people like me
same a bit with trackdays, long time ago it was pretty simple, have fun and sound? ow sounds great...
but nowadays sound limits, lots of rules an lessons and so on, ok I see of course some good in a lot, but still I miss the old days and ways of lots of things.
