I love the design and the livery -- I think it's a great tribute to the classic Lotuses of the '60s. I've been a lot more impressed with the cars this year as opposed to the post-rear-wing-rule-change cars of 2009. Definitely going to be a fun, competitive season.

Thoughts?

I'm grateful someone posted this while i was on my 450 mile mission to escape Daytona for some Atlanta snow. :D

Dazn: YES YES YES!!!

Those colors eclipse even the beauty of the 72's JPS and the 99T's Camel.


I'm currently searching for the hires shots of it.


I thought the Sauber looked great but this is really on another level.

car is gorgeous, although I still not so enthused by their choice of drivers.

[Jenson]

Why are their strakes for mirrors coming from the floor but the mirrors are on the sidepod? The head restraint blocks look like an after thought as well since they do not blend with the body work behind them. Looks good though. I think the Sauber might be my favorite design for this season though. Lol @ USF1 making any races this season.

Hey sorry for the slight deviation from the original post but I can't seem to find any info on the date of the US unveiling. I know I saw something on Formula1.com but now I can't find it. Anyone have a date?

[dazn]

nope, because there is no date, lol.

[SeePlusPlus]

nope, because there is no date, lol.

Excellent start for USF1 then...

Excellent start for USF1 then...

Their funding has stalled out... Don't plan on seeing them on the grid any time this year.

Return of barge board like air flow manipulators.

[Jenson]

^Sweet. I'll have to look more closely at the rest of the cars again.

USF1=finished as a company with current structure and funding. Maybe they'll get someone to bail them out but I doubt it. Murphythebear said it best, get Ken out and things will start rolling. \end threadjack.
