I take it you are referring to the picture in the second link in my post?

Another new pic, this is a high-res shot. Here thanks to Sam Collins @ Racecar Engineering

Edit: This one from E.I. is even higher-res. Here

The car looks great.

I think it looks good in its livery also, but I think the sidepod gills and turbo inlet should have been done in red.

I think the rear wing should have been red on the main plane too. Better looking aero-wise than the Acura IMO.

Or maybe something like this: R-15 Manta Ray. I know not very good with the Photoshop.

Driver changes look they are going to be a challenge with the placement of those louvres.

Interesting point, I hadn't thought of that. Hopefully the drivers don't get tripped up by them.

They've installed a flat panel on both sides where the first 1 to 2 sidepod louvers were to create platforms for driver changes. Here
