Looks so much better IMO. Better Aero and bigger HP should make this interesting again.

Gaara - looks like you're in the minority on disliking the wider wheel arches.

Not crazy about the pimped out wheel arches either, they look like Brazilian stock cars. But I do like the Lada photo setting of what looks like an old Russian horse stable.

Are they going to make the races longer? Because if the cars are meant to be 3-5s/lap faster, we'll have even quicker races.

Big budget.

Will they still be front wheel drive? 380bhp is A LOT through the front tyres.

Because Honda's photo is a professional studio shoot, versus shots of cars not yet completely built or developed.

Good point. Are there still going to be bmws next year? They could have an advantage as the fwd cars are going to wear their tyres a lot quicker with that much power.

There won't be any BMWs in the top class.

Just out of curiosity, how much is it actually costing to build one of the new cars?

They're supposedly 2.5 times more expensive than the old ones.
