New BMW Sauber Car on the Right Track
By
It’s only been 3 days of testing for BMW Sauber, but things seems to be going pretty well. The new car as it stands now has impressed the drivers. Nick Heidfeld had his first opportunity to drive with a KERS modified car and notices a big difference when he presses the button. It is estimated that BMW Saubers’ KERS system can deliver 80 more hp every time the button is pressed and get this, no one is getting shocked. 
The next step for the team is Jerez where racing against each other to test passing is planned. Already Christian Klien feels it’s already easier to close in on the front car because the smaller rear wing produces less turbulence. Along with this the very wide front wing (shovel) makes the car more stable. Now add on slicks and you have a grippier car in slow speed corners.
It’s still incredibly early, but it sounds like the team are once again on a road for success heading toward next season.

It is to early to decide yet. Ferrari and McLaaren have not put their ‘radical’ cars out yet to see.
I don’t mind how the car looks. I was expecting something stupid looking but this isn’t bad. I wish i could see the passing test they do in jerez.

Frankly, the new BMW is Fugy, but I get the strange feeling I’ve seen something familiar before.

Let’s just wait ’till Jerez and see what it looks like then and how it performs. Passing attempts are in the plan.

That new car is not really good looking. But I know that people will soon get used to how it looks.
