Virgin evaluated forward exhausts

Virgin Racing did evaluate whether to incorporate a Renault-style forward-facing exhaust system on its 2011 challenger, but in the end opted to stick with its own, more traditional, blown diffuser solution. Renault has delivered one of the major technical innovations of 2011 with its exhaust exits coming out at the leading edge of the sidepods on its R31 - to optimise gas flow underneath the car. Wirth is well aware of the importance of getting an effective blown diffuser, and recently tried out tests of the forward exhausts to see if it was a concept his team needed to feature on its new MVR-02
