TF106
TF106B Analysis
 |
The TF106B represents the final step of the evolution that started at last year's Japanese GP when the new front suspension was introduced on the TF105B model. It has a new chassis with no keel in the middle in an effort to exploit all the aerodynamic advantages of the new layout. It also has new suspension geometry with a different push rod angle. This forced the introduction of small "alligator eyes" on top of the chassis for the rocker pick up point." |

The TF105 and TF106 kept the same wheelbase with the addition of a spacer between the engine and chassis (2) to cope with the shorter V8 engine for 2006, reducing the general stiffness of the assembly. The new TF106B chassis has a longer fuel tank (1) to compensate for this difference in length so the chassis is always the same |
This is the spacer (10 cm long) that was used on the TF106 until the Spanish Grand Prix in order to maintain the same TF105 wheelbase. |
