Seems they all have it.

Transponder of some sort?

Anyway Jim, almost didn't recognise your car without the red wheels!!

[jimnielsen]

I think that the black (well charcoal grey) wheels look a lot better!

[Steve Webb]

Definitely! So what was under the black tape on all the cars?

What black strip?

[Steve Webb]

On the 4th pic of the first post, all 4 cars have a 1x4" patch of something towards the top rear of the front wing.

Oh I see the one you mean now, maybe it is to denote a driver change or something like that - they tear off the cover which is white part way through the race.
Maybe....

[jimnielsen]

yes, they tear off the white velcro piece when you come off the track and attach it to the car that goes out next for your team - so you can't cheat and have 2 cars out at once.. cause the team with the most total laps wins...
