It actually looks quite good from certain angles with certain liveries. Other times I still look at it and think 'ewwww'. Hopefully it'll continue to grow on me.

And when the other bodykits come out there's the chance it'll look even better. Especially getting rid of that bloated bit in front of the rear wheels.

Front and back look awesome, not a huge fan of the side pods though.

To be honest, just that little change right there would be a huge visual improvement. They can still run the sidepods all the way back to the wheels and have a bit of "kick-up" bodywork at the end and still accomplish something in the way of aero. I know aero is no simple matter though...

I'll never get used to that, sorry.

Though now they've gone with the whole closed wheel idea, surely a couple of brake lights on the back of the car would reduce the chances of accidents even more? :?

I like PT because he's one of those old skool aggressive hard chargers. Problem is that he's getting a little too old now and I don't think the speed is still there. I could just see him running 15th - 20th every race and driving into the side of people. If he does get a drive, I'd be happy if he proves me wrong.


Well as we all know sometimes the races get dull and we BEG for a Caution.

PT is that caution waiting to happen ;)

I liked Ganassi's car, doesn't look that bad. It's also growing on me but just a little bit only, because I'm expecting better looking designs for 2013 when the aero kit project shows up. But for this year I think I can get used to those batmobiles.

The Lotus paint scheme just works on that car for some reason. I like it, a lot.

The more I look at pictures of the car, the more it grows on me. Especially that Lotus livery that really works on pretty much any car.

When I just see the front half of the car it looks alright, but overall the car's proportions still look wrong. It looks to rear-heavy with all that bodywork.

The only things I really don't like about the road course trim are the massive humps in front of the rear wheels, and they'll be gone within a few years, so...

-------------------------------

Pleasantly surprised to read today's Times and find in the sports section a two-page article on Katherine Legge (with a couple of paragraphs bolted on the end for Bruno's move to Williams).

Nice to see some recognition of other Britons besides Franchitti and Wheldon.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

This paint scheme is so amazing, that it has the strengh to make the ugliest cars a very beautiful artwork. I remember looking at this paint scheme for the first time when I played IndyCar Racing II around the year of 1996, since then I find this the most amazing IndyCar paint scheme I've ever seen...combined with Reynard chassis, that was incredible...I wish that paint scheme could return one day

That Valvoline livery is still one the greatest liveries I have ever seen on an open wheeler. It can even make a pile of dogshit like this Dallara look amazing.

Doubt it'd make the DeltaWing look any better.
