Re: OT: Is it the season of ugly race cars?

Ha, yes! Audi have excelled themselves. The R18 looked superb but this thing is a mess. Ok, the wing is in the ACO's rules but the paint job seems to be there to link it to the new A1 Quattro. The F1 and Indy cars just look awful. We'll get used to it, we did with the skinny grooved tyres in F1 and so on. The argument against less aerodynamic and more mechanical grip in F1 is that there will be less space for sponsorship (and possibly for safety reasons) but the more the regulators try to restrict grip and speeds by other methods the worse the cars actually look. I don't know the situation in Indycars. In F1 they should junk the wings and paint the sponsorship on the tracks...
