    My best wing guess:
    They are only allowed a certain wing area and the low pressure bottom surface contributes more than the top surface. Therefor it behooved them to maximize the surface on the bottom.

    @korvetkeith king of teh horsepowers!: Kinda sorta...They need the 'cleanest' side down so they copied the Audi R15 and moved the attachment supports to the top.

    My office is about 1/2 mile from Rocketsports HQ. I drive past it every day on the way to work. To say that it is *hidden* is an understatement. Anyway, I saw their *HUGE* trailer out front the other day loading in the Jag. One of the greatest ways to start your day. Now if only they'd fire it up and smoke the tires while I'm out at lunch.

    Holy crap, I can't wait to see it at Long Beach GP.

    Hopefully it'll fill the massive V8 Vantage shaped void left by the Baron Drayson's GT2 team.

    My people at Road Atlanta suggest this thing is in no way a proper GT2 racer- no drivetrain and poorly fitted, unfinished, noncompliant body panels.

    Considering who's running this team, I wouldn't hold my breath on this one, folks.

    so why is Petit Le Mans at Road at Road Atlanta the same weekend as a home Georgia Tech football game? so I can't go.

    @e30m3: Go up Friday (or earlier), that is the only time to really see stuff other than the race.

    I had a choice between Petit Le Mans and the working annual Glock Shoot. It was a tough choice because this year the workers at the Glock Shoot were having dinner with "Gunny" R. Lee Ermy. I ended up going to Petit Le Mans Friday and Saturday, mainly because my cousin and uncle decided to o with me and my dad.

    The rear wing posts resemble the 1960s baby seat mount someone (Beercheck?) described yesterday. Also, the headlights are a poor fit.

    @MajesticTrout: The Audi R15 uses similarly shaped wing supports. I remember reading an analysis of the reasoning behind them but can't remember the conclusion. Perhaps Engineered can recall it? He works with aerodynamics for a living.

    @Joshman Raffles Avenue: probably easier to adjust the down pressure and transfer it to the same distance in relation to the rear wheels.

    I'm going to have to disagree with everyone here, and suggest that the paint scheme is very English after all. Lime-Green paint with grey and orange graphics? Clearly inspired by the Clash.
