Many of the design traits of the VCARB-01 take inspiration from Red Bull’s championship winning RB19, as RacingNews365’s Technical Analyst Paolo Filisetti explains.
The VCARB-01 is more than just a clone of the RB19, it takes the concepts of the championship-winning car to the extreme and incorporates elements from rival cars. The suspension, with front pull-rod and rear push-rod, is inherited from the Red Bull RB19. The sidepods have smaller air inlets and the channel between them and the floor is maximized, creating a ‘mini barge board’. The upper profile of the sidepod integrates features of Aston Martin and Alpine. The rear venting is large for heat exchange and to energize the air stream towards the beam wing. The details of the car show the ambition and competitiveness of the Red Bull group. It indicates that the RB20 could be even more extreme in its concepts and that the two cars will be based on integrated concepts for coherent development. This strategy may not be well-received by rival teams.
