    yep, the one that has the ARROW logo on the sidepods is the Indycar.

    Even though the cars where made a bit smaller, they're still ****ing huge...quite annoyed about that. They should've gone to 1800mm again IMO.

    The cars are too large, and too heavy. Why couldn't they impose a maximum wheelbase too ?

    They did...Should've been 1800mm wide, 640kg weight minimum. Suddenly forget about the XXXL wheelbase cars...

    I think with the high minimum weight the cons of a long wheel base are eliminated by the gain (more aero), so I think most current cars will be pretty much at the maximum length...

    Have they shown a real car or is it just another FIA showcase with an AT paint job?

    I find the rear "interesting". Really wide, not slim at all? Is it an optical illusion? Supposedly Honda is going even slimmer with this engine, which seems a bit of a waste if this is the setup, lol.

    The colour matches with the background. Overall, looks like a nice car.
    Maybe RB could go similar to AT when they hit the tests.

    The AT03 definitely has a lower nose than the ANR22.

    It sucks the cars are smaller but heavier, didn't think the wheel size would add as much weight.

    Battery packs don't help either IMO.

    It'll be interesting to see the "real" cars and what they do with the sidepods. Aston has the really wide sidepods which are very deeply undercut... The Alpha looks somewhat similar just not as pronounced. I'm wonder if anyone is really going to go super skinny with some sort of innovative adaptation.

    Push rod front suspension as well. Makes sense to me
