Last BRG color car I recall in F1 was the old Jaguar team, here with ex Ferrari pilot playboy and general bad a** Eddie Irvine in 2002.

The Lotus design is very sparse.....me thinks they added too much lightness.

it's looking like everyone is making big changes to their cars. IRL is starting the process on a new design also. I bet the next few years are going to be transitional to the next generation of race cars.

I still can't get over the DeltaWing concept. What were they smoking? Too much NitroMethane sniffing at IRP/ORP maybe?

yeah that car doesn't even look like it would be able to turn around a corner let alone do it at 200+. it has way too wide of a rear end and the wheels are too close together in the front, it is just plain ugly.
