Derek has been used for general info, set-up etc., there's no way they've added three inches to the length of the car or anything LIKE that! I don't think the TGP rules would allow that anyway!!!
(cars have to be to original specs???)

The P34 used different noses in 1976 and 1977 - the one in BB's photos is an exact copy of the one used in the 1977 Japanese GP, and is as far forward as the TGP regs allow

Yes, along with the widened front track.
