And reveals the good old "Newey ridges" that everyone seems to have copied this year!
Front wing looks to be double-layered as well? Not as rudimentary as it seemed at first!

And mirrors! Still has a shovel for a front wing though.

I'd go for USF1 personally - assuming they make it.

I've just done a quick comparison of MP425 vs VR-01 in PS, based on rear wheel sizes.
It's a little misleading as the McLaren shot has much wider perspective, however I'd say that the McLaren is overall still a fair bit longer than the VR car - and the wheelbase is a lot longer.

Several rumours about...
1) Being quiet, has the money, has the car, competes in 2010 season
2) Bought by Tony Teixeira, Campos remaining as team principle - competes in 2010
3) Bought by Tony Teixeira, Teams/FIA don't like him *he's technically insolvent - A1GP cars still impounded, owes a fortune to Ferrari for the cars and also owes money to Surfers Paradise for the cancelled event* - not allowed to compete
4) Not bought by Tony Teixeira, not enough money to pay Dallara for chassis development, chassis IP bought by Stefan GP - as such Campos can't compete
Situations 3 and 4 could lead to Stefan GP getting Campos entry into 2010 season
Type R, I see the sig has changedMercedes fan this year?
I'm still loyal to the 'Prancin Horse, even without Kimi *sobs*.
The sig has changed. Not a huge fan of Mercedes to be fair, but always been a big fan of Schuey so had to change the sig. Still hoping Ferrari do really well with Massa, not a big fan of Alonso at all!! Kimi would have been awesome this year at Ferrari!

More than a few hints of McLaren about this - the shark fin attaching directly to the rear wing and the lack of a V nose. Much more bulky around the sidepods and rear though.
*edit*
Sorry forgot these were going to be in their own threads - go here to chat about these rather than clog this thread.

Looks quite nice shape-wise, but they really need to ditch that whole Tricolour theme with the paint job - too much Indian
The original White/Red/Gold was really nice imo.

I agree, the red white and gold looked nice in the first season.

The Renault car looks horrendous.
Maybe it's that sharkfin
