    Eh, it's probably too heavy to be competitive, especially in qualifying. :eek:

    Then again, refueling is out anyway this year right? Still too heavy.

    I think it should manage to pass the minimum weight test.

    Are those headlights?

    I think the designers were stoned when they came up with it.
