So, is it debuting at Silverstone? And who's driving it? |

No idea, just saw a link to it in one of Matt Neal's tweets. |

Maybe it's being driven by a masked superhero with the objective of fighting evil? i.e, driving into Plato. |

Or if Plato drove it, he could be called Twatman |

http://www.touringcartimes.com/article.php?id=6848 Thorne is testing it himself, and it may well be the 30th car on the grid at Silverstone. I think I'm more excited about Silverstone than I have been for pretty much all the F1 races this season. |

Good example of two similar cars looking very different in the same colour. The Vectras look great in black but the Insignia just looks like an amorphous blob. At least it's not white, lol. Am I the only person who doesn't know why it has batman logos all over it? |

Apparently because someone likened it to the batmobile. |

Well, that's another major sponsor in the field - Wayne Enterprises' |

Perhaps it was just the perspective of the photo and the fact that the underside of the car is white? |

Hmm does look better from that angle, but still looks a bit too chunky, doesn't really retain much of the original shape of the road version of the Insignia imo. |

In the same way that Welch's Proton looks almost nothing like the road going Gen-2... I had to double take when I first saw it! |

Apart from the flared wheel arches and rear wing I fail to see how neither the Insignia or the Gen-2 barely look like their road going models. |
