I'm pretty amazed that this car actually exists. Thanks for the link.

How can they fit a v10 under that cowling?

Amazing

Wow!! I look forward to seeing that car in full livery. Is B&H still the primary sponsor??

[Napoleon]

That is one pretty car, and I have never cared much for cars with airboxs.

[Classic Apex]

Dayum! That is one fine lookin' automobile.

Thanks for posting that, GrandView.

:cool:

Interesting to see how high off the tarmac the front wing is. Is this a new regulation?:

Interesting how the car looks much better now that Eggball Hamsandwich isn't designing it.

The 2002 regs raised the front wing considerably.

It reduced the aero grip, but of course tire technology overcame that deficit rather quickly.

I think it's now obvious that the constructors (even those with lesser funds) are taking the Ferrari aero advantage seriously.

I'm looking forward to the Williams and McLaren launches.

Williams will be interesting..... Mac have already said they are starting with an "evolution" of last years chassis, so I doubt you will see a huge difference there....

What's up with the rain tyres? :saywhat: :eek:

[RTKar]

Sweet looking car, hopefully Eddie can find the funds necessary for development as the season goes, otherwise it'll be nothing but a Minardi.

What, you think Ralf will make the same mistake again this season?

Err.... never mind.

IMO, this is the finest looking car that this current formula has brought forth. I find it interesting that the "sidepods" look skewed with some sort of helix. The rear splitters have me worried of many new aero tweaks that will come during the course of the season, ruining the classic side profile.

Who's the designer?

Director of Race and Test Engineering is Gary Anderson and Director of Design and Development is Henri Durand.

I'm more familiar with Gary Anderson, but would presume they work in close concert developing the new car. If it turns out that beauty is only skin deep, I would guess Gary will shoulder the blame.

And yes, Ziggy, they will hang a bunch of very unattractive aero-aids on this beautiful shape during the course of the season. Pity...

It's been mentioned before, but the visual beauty of this car will likely get muted if/when it gets the traditional yellow Jordan livery.

Im going out on a limb here to say the sidepods look skewed, or foreshortened, for an area verses space concept. It is a cool looking car, and I agree, some SchoolBus Yellow paint will dull it down quite a bit. Dont know who the drivers are, maybe they would be better off without painting them! Cut down on expensive repair bills!
