I'm horrified that someone considers this ugly. I think this is the most beautiful open wheel racing car of all time.
That is absolutely ridiculous. Did any other team use something like that?Arrows A21, Monaco Nose Wing
While I don't mind the Lotus 56, all of the ones just mentioned are awful. Maybe excluding the 711.

A little before the Arrows, but here's a McLaren M26 with it on:While I don't mind the Lotus 56, all of the ones just mentioned are awful. Maybe excluding the 711.

And it has the radiator nose. Two for one.
This was the other one mentioned:
Jordan EJ11, Monaco Wing
Rrrrrright in front of the driver.
I busted ribs reading this. xD\It's things like that which led to the 2009 snowplough reboot and indirectly to the penis noses and skeleton rears we see today.
If the "prongs" were equal in length it'd help it give that impression.I actually like the Lotus, it's a very Colin Chapman solution to the problem of regulations.
Regulations wouldn't allow it, which is what makes the prong-nose so clever.If the "prongs" were equal in length it'd help it give that impression.
True true, from an engineering standpoint it is an interesting take on aero. Aesthetically...not brilliant. But I agree that it is a neat solution that Chapman might have tried himself.Regulations wouldn't allow it, which is what makes the prong-nose so clever.
Talking about wings... Williams tested this for Monza in 1997.
