Those headlights and the gap below it are disgusting.

The Audi ain't a looker that's for sure.

R390 replica inbound.

R390 replica inbound.

That was my reply to them. Look forward to seeing it.

 

[trustjab]

Looks that way.

R390 replica inbound.

So stuck in a garage with mechanical failure?

At the rate they are going, yes sadly . Hope not for Le Mans.

Cheap shot! They also failed a crash test. Nissan will come good for the 24h du Mans. Only a week until we see the car tasked with defending the WEC championships - The 2015 Toyota TS040 Hybrid.

I know..... I posted that.

The R390 got 3rd place in '98 though, behind 2 Porsches as well.......Le Mans 2015 result confirmed?

 

[SagarisGTB]

With regards to them Aston liveries, the 95 is veeery pretty, the 99 is passable, and the 97 is a bit rubbish imo.

I'd say the #99 is the prettiest by a margin, the other two are solid. But more than anything, the splash of colour and variety is very much welcome. I dare say the fleet of gulf cars was becoming a tad trite.

We seen it a while ago.

Bop adjustment for Audi getting an extra 0.8 kg/hr increase in fuel flow vs 0.5 kg/hr increase for petrols.

Also I have seen numbers indicating closer to 220hp more vs 2014. So, that would put the R18 at full bore at around 920hp.

 

[Kamuifanboy]

The #95 and #99 Aston Liveries are pretty. #97 leaves more room for desire.

 

[Furinkazen]

What...?

 

[Bo]

That is the single worst livery concept I have seen in my lifetime.

 

[RACECAR]

Well, that's disappointing for everyone that was just on their nostalgia trip.

I'm actually hoping this is a joke.

 

[RACECAR]

Its literally nothing but a sea of baby blue and a club logo slapped on it.

Ima let you finish, but Newcastle United had the best Football club livery of all time.

I exactly thought of that when I saw it.

Welp, that happened.

So much for the R390 tribute, this is a tribute yes. A tribute to bad liveries... Seriously Nissan, I'd prefer that you made the R390 tribute instead of tired Man City reference.

I quite liked AC Milan Superleague Formula Livery... it was classy, in a strip-club kinda way

 

[DK]

Why, Nissan, WHY?!

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

That is the single worst livery concept I have seen in my lifetime.

And that's saying something....

 

[Furinkazen]

FIA confirm spec P2 engine.

Confirmation came during today’s FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting in Geneva, with the spec engine part of the “goal to universalize” the category.

That is worrying.

That is worrying.

Sounds like Group C demise again.

Looks nice actually.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

I think I speak for everyone when I say FIA please sod off and leave WEC and Le Mans in the hands of the ACO.

 

[RACECAR]

If you were to tell people the FIA was going to make a stupid decision with the P2 class last year, no one would've believed it.
