This color scheme doesn't do much for the car.

Maybe it is just the angle of the shot and a shadow of the wing, but doesn't it look like the uprights for the wing are 6" wide and turned to face forward? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

Thought it was marginally ugly in plain white...then I saw it yesterday in DHL drag.
It's...just...hideous. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) Maybe it will look better from other angles? Sure hope it's fast...oh, wait, it doesn't need to be to win in LMP2! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) The only way this car will impress me is if it challenges (and beats) the LMP1 category cars. pete |

I gotta agree with Pete, that thing is Coyote ugly...no paint will help cover that. Invisiblility paint might wurk gud. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
IMO, most race cars get uglier with "graphics" & paint these days. Penske used to have the most lovely paint/preperation on his sportscars....some of the prettiest things I've ever seen. Those days are over,eh? |

How about a shot from the rear where we hope most competitors will see it most. Besides, Penske LOVES yellow...ever seen the vans? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)
