The GP2/08 is the overall 2nd generation of car used by the GP2 Series, replacing the GP2/05, which had also been developed by Dallara. The GP2/08 was used from 2008 to 2010, in keeping with the series philosophy of introducing a chassis every 3 year.<ref></ref> As the GP2 Series is a spec formula, the car was utilised by all teams and drivers in the championship.
== Development ==
Planning and design of the car began in September 2006, with GP2 series Technical Director Didier Perrin laying down the initial design parameters, prior to handing over the detailed design work to Dallara, with it being decided relatively earlier that the partnerships from the first three years of GP2 would be continued until at least 2010, with a chassis by Dallara, [[Renault]] branded engine and gearbox by [[Mecachrome]] and tyres by [[Bridgestone]]. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The car was also designed to be upgradable, with an upgrade kit to be issued each year. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
The car featured a new and 'aggressively low' nose, alongside a single keel suspension and a sculpted front wing. The car had re-designed sidepods, the which were result of a new radiator and cooling set-up. The barge-boards are also noticeably different, being far larger and more sculpted than their predecessor.<ref></ref> The rear end was also completely redesigned, with the contoured engine cover fitting over the Mecachrome-built V8 being far tighter than before, and while the rear of the sidepods featured both brand new cooling chimneys and a newer design of the 'shark gill' vents which appeared briefly in 2006. The rear point of the engine cover pulls down to a markedly different, and far neater, exhaust assembly, while the rear wing is a brand new development of that seen in 2007<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The car also came with anti intrusion panels, and was designed to meet F1 crash test standards of the time, being the only non-F1 car to pass the 2007 Formula One Crash test. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref></ref>
The car had its initial shakedown at the Paul Ricard High Speed Test Track on 26th June 2007 by [[Nelson Piquet Jr.|Nelson Piquet Jnr]], who was the runner up in the [[2006 GP2 Series|previous]] GP2 Season, completing 60 laps without any problems.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The car was also launched on that day.<ref> Auto123.com|website=www.auto123.com|access-date=2019-04-19}}</ref>
