Is that a girl? And if yes, who is she?

 

Nope, that's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendon_Hartley

 

What a shame.... Didn't hear about him.

 

He's actually a very good driver IIRC, I remember him competing in the Grand-Am series and doing well despite not having much experience. I also believe he's a Mercedes F1 simulation driver.

 

Thank you for the infos. Really appreciate it.

 

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does the front of the new LMP1 look really UN-aerodynamic to anyone else?

I've been a fan of Le Mans for quite some time and for all the LMP1 cars and LMP2 cars, I can't remember seeing anything as blunt as this in the front end. I suppose I'm speaking more to the headlights than any other part of it. There isn't a possibility that the headlight covers are just "mule" coverings and hiding the true shape underneath is there?

I've always loved the 917, GT1, and the RS Spyder. Something about the shape of the front end here doesn't seem quite right to me.

Of course, none of this really matters if it's fast as hell and wins.

 

Yes, i know what do you mean and in a way you're right. It is supposed to be narrow and wedge but i don't know. Maybe they find another way to 'find' seconds add speed. Don't forget that there is the possibility that the final design of the car to change until the start of the Championship and except that, Porsche hasn't made the official presentation yet like Audi with the R18 e-tron.
