Various changes have been made from
the TF103 to the 2004 Tf104. This graphic and the guide below shows you the
main changes. 1. TF104 front wing and end
plate have been evolved from the TF103.
2. TF103 had big barge board until 2003 German GP, replaced by double guide
turning vanes.
3. Similar ones on the TF104, combined with new horizontal fins in front of
the side pods.
4. Shorter side pods to improve aero efficiency with bodywork further away
from the front axle.
5. Longer and thinner fuel tank.
6. TF104 keeps the same style exit for hot air introduced on TF103 at
Silverstone 2003.
7-8 Different winglet evolution of the ones introduced on TF103B
intermediary car.
9. To improve aero efficiency and rear visibility the chimneys have been
moved backwards and inwards.
10. On TF103, the hot air was originally coming out on top in front of the
rear tyres. On TF104, the shape at the back of the car is deeper to improve
the airflow to the rear wing. All mechanical components are reduced in size
and weight.
11. Due to new rules, end plates are 10cm bigger with the wing profiles at
the same overhang to the rear axle (50 cm). |
