    Well, it has the right number of shocks. Not sure we need yet another spec, though.

    On further review, I'm not so sure *two* is the correct number of shocks. If they want another spec Down Under where there's already a revived F5000, good on them.

    Looks like a ff but more powerful and with downforce. I like it but it's not for me.

    I would call the looks innovative... not funky at all.

    I don't know... throw a hayabussa turbocharged engine in there with bigger wings and larger rims and run it in AM... that could be fun.

    Those are some big tunnels. Haven't seen ground effects like that since IMSA in the 80s

    every time I see one of these mega-bucks racers, it makes me appreciate FF even more.

    Talent usually ends up in front, but fun goes from the front of the grid all the way to the back.
