Dammit beaten like a ginger stepchild.

The front half reminds me of a IRL car. All their CFD work doesn't look like it's developed the front wing very much.

 

[Flibster]

Not exactly a subtle or attractive colour scheme.

Can't tell much about the car either.

 

[Duke]

Didn't know Minardi were racing this year?

 

[Hencore]

I'm liking it so far.

 

[gam3r]

I love the colour scheme.

 

[Tilluss]

I do like the look of it for the most part, but those front wings are really gonna need some more work to them.

For the most part im quite impressed though, lets see what it can do on the track now

 

[Sumanji]

Looks kinda funky - I like

Sponsors seem to be financial services mainly...

Su

 

[Dup]

Looks good to me (looks wise). I'm not seeing anything special though.

I quite like the livery but your right about the lack of any detail that you can see. All I think I can make out is a single mounting point between the wing & nose rather than the normal two.

 

[Witor]

It has no mirrors as far as I can tell. Bad ju-ju, means no-one will be behind em on track...

 

[Kol]

Another car that I think looks awesome. The grid is going to look fantastic this year.

How can you tell? They've got to have mirrors!

They are behind the chap squatting beside the car, one would guess.

 

[Flibster]

Woah! If these numbers are correct - the car is huge!

Length 5500mm!
Given the Sauber C29 is 4950mm - thats pretty damn large.

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

That front wing does look rudimentary.

Is that a single mount for the front wing? Should make it fly off pretty easily when nudged!

 

[Flibster]

My mate just asked why the car has a racial slur on the back wing...
Nigg....
*it's perhaps not the best angle for the photo*

Aren't the drivers a load of miserable goits too. Not even a hint of a smile.

There was me thinking Kimi had gone over to WRC!

 

[Hencore]

Virgin site is being updated

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

The pic on the website shows a more conventional nose mounting..

The more i see it the more i like it
