Yeah I came across the article by accident myself last night, what an awesome race car!

Aesthetically I would prefer the airbox to be a little lower (I see what they are trying to do though) but the specs of the car more than make up for it.

I would imagine these will be enormous fun to drive.

Hopefully they'll embrace Youtube and show the races live, I would like to think Motors TV or Eurosport would pick up on it but not sure.

I like it.
Hopefully they'll dispense with most of the electrical stuff 'crammed' into most modern chassis.
Those bit detract from the racing overall by causing longer than normal garage time... the result of difficult access when replacing problematic parts.
