The only modifications on both of the cars would be the FIA approval roll cages, fire suppression, bigger disc brakes and calipers and additional of the rear wing. The engineers also removed the unnecessary tools like the audio systems and air-conditioning as-well-as other body panels to make it as light as they can for the race.
