You gotta love the Walker paint jobs this year. :thumbup:

[molive]

One of the best :thumbup:

[Turn7]

Reminds me a lot of the last Walker/Valvoline car.

It looks very good.

[Lizzerd]

Sun Microsystems! Way cool.

Nice paint job :) wonder if it made it much faster?? ;)

Is there a larger version of that pic for desktop purposes??

Very nice. Looks like a new Wallpaper for work.

But wait! What's this? Isn't that a Mikey Andretti sponsor I see on the front wing and top of the sidepod?

Yup. You can see it clearly in the larger image:

They were deluged with so much new business they couldn't keep up. So in an effort to reduce overtime hours, they sponsored a Champ Car. :gomer:

Yes, I remember a story about how excess exposure put Rachel's Potater Chips right outta bizness. You've got to be careful sponsoring an IRL team. :gomer:

I thought Motorola was still providing some of the 2-way communications in Cart this year?? Anyway, cool car. :cool:

[Cam]

The Sun sponsorship grabs my attention! Walkers McLaren connections?

When I found out about this deal coming together I couldn't wait to see the car. Go Chap!!!

[Steve99]

Walker's always had good looking paint jobs, and this is another one. Wish their was a die-cast.

[JLMannin]

I assume that this is a second car in addition to Manning?

[nz_climber]

Its nice to see a company like Sun getting involed :)

Now microsoft will want to join the party too - because they like taking ideas from sun(and other companies) and making them their own ;)

[RaceChic]

Definately a very sweet looking machine !!!! :thumbup:

[jons]

Great looking car! Also an extremely impressive group of sponsors. I haven't been paying attention. Is this a one off deal or is it for next year too?

one-off, unfortunately.

And yes, Motorola is still "the Official CCWS communications provider".

Is the Corona car going to run in Mexico City?

That would be like Players not running in Toronto!

Rodolfo Lavin (R), #5 Corona Competition Team Ford-Cosworth XFE-Reynard-Bridgestone
?This is going to be the one of the biggest events this season. I?ve been in Mexico City for almost a week now making appearances for Corona and there?s already a lot of buzz about the race. I had a chance to drive the circuit on Sunday giving the media and sponsors pace car rides and the track is definitely one of the best circuits in the series. It?s just incredible! I?m really looking forward to Friday when I can finally drive it in the Corona Champ Car.?

[jcollins28]

WOW it looks faster! That is a very nice car I just love blue race cars!
