Default New Dallara DP 01

Sorry folks I am not a GARRA basher but I just can't help myself!

At first glance the first thing that popped into my head was; Edsel??

VERY interesting front nose design... I actually like that snout I'm happy a few manufacturers (Lola included) are trying to think outside the box with DP designs.. Sure, they still are not the prettiest cars in sports car racing, but they do have some distinct features..

Is that along the lines of, "If you can't say something nice..."

Well it seems they're thinking outside of the box...It sure would be nice to end Riley's dominance...and if this is the car...so be it.

I'm all for unique designs, but these abominations have to be destroyed.
And why the heck did they have to call it the DP01 when that's the Panoz open-wheeled chassis they're crushing?!
