You all have been getting these pretty quickly. I'm a bit reluctant to post this because it is one of my spy photos, but it is tougher.
(hint) I was developing vortex generators and rather than starting from scratch I "poked" around to see what others had already done. Amazing that at certain times people get sloppy and you can snag darn near any shot you want.
What car is this? Not generic, but ID the make and year!
That look screams F1. The white & blue is the classic BMW/Williams, but they've been out for awhile...
Anybody want to take a stab?
We're not real good at open wheel stuff. Kinda looks like it could be the 2011 Red Bull though...
I wouldn't say it's F1 for sure. Could be any ALMS-style race car.

Huh? What runs in ALMS that has a front wing that's separate from the rest of the car?
Ah good point.
Well it ain't Indycar and it doesn't look complicated enough to be the last 2-3 years of F1. It's either an old F1 or an F3000 or something like that. Still looks like Red Bull blue or Williams Blue for the color.
I'm going with a.... 2007 DTM Audi TT.
It's definitly an F1 Red Bull, I'll take a stab at the RB6/7/8 by the shape of the outer hump on the lower outer portion but I'll have to hit Google images to be sure.
Google says I'm full of doo doo. I think JAvelin could be right with Williams. It's the little flat angles plate on the inside of the end plates that's got me.
I'm 0 for 5 on these... I'm just here to see the pretty pictures.
I'm gonna go ahead and throw my vote in for the 2006 Williams F1 car:

Kid down the street's Hyundai Tiburon?
I'm wondering why it happens to to be so high on a strut assembly of some sort. There's that long aluminum pipe chillin' out under it that appears to be holding it up.....

DING, DING, DING!
We have a winner. It is the '06 Williams. Crap you guys are killing me. This one only took half a day.
Okay, you want to go one more? I'm sure I got one that stump you

pretty sure that's just a nose stand, not actually part of the racing car.

Dude, you rock! I'm surprised I figured out it was an older F1 and a 50/50 shot at Williams, you got the actual one!

Well, I'm an aerodynamics engineer at Sauber. I've spent a lot of time looking at the competition's wing design, and that picture just screams '06 Williams. I mean, everyone in my office here got it in like 10 seconds.
(I swear that the above is 100% true, and I didn't just look at a bunch of pictures on Wikipedia until I figured it out. Because that would be lame. Who spends 10 minutes looking at pictures of old F1 wings on wikipedia? Losers, that's who. Not rockstar racing engineers like myself. What's that mom? No, don't pick up the pho
