    What is the white antenna/wire/whatever sticking out of the left side of the car?

    I am really intrigued by that car, who's behind it, etc ...

    They haven't chosen the cheaper option like Glickenhaus or Vanwall, but decided to go for hybrid like the LMH tenors.

    Does anyone not realize the Glickenhaus is on its 3rd season? Seems that rob is holding the grudge...

    ...and the car is blue.

    They are only there because of the Governing bodies rules making it so. My understanding its due to the flip Porsche and Mercedes did all those years ago.

    ...because we think you're stretching. Plenty of carmakers have used a shield for their badge...

    Maybe it's honoring the timelessness of knowing when a scuderia badge showed up, it represented the racing shop and what it had to offer....afterall pre-war grand prix cars were mostly manufacturers. The Scuderia badge first showed up on Alfa Romeos in place of the clover....

    Correct. Those cut outs are mandated so that the air doesn't get trapped in the wheel wells. Helps to prevent them from going over. If you look all the GTP cars have those same cut outs. Even the GT3 cars all have vents in that same location.

    The holes let the high pressure that builds up in the wheel well breath out. That's how it will be raced. It's not a bad design, wonder if we could see it on a road car one day.

    I'm pretty neutral on Jim, don't love him, don't hate him.

    IMO, his badge design was a copy of the Ferrari shield and it was really unoriginal. Yeah, something a jilted lover would do.

    It's not just the badge shape but all the details used as well. If Jim doesn't run the cars with that badge anymore, good on him.

    I just hope the 499P doesn't get shaken to death at Sebring.
