The car was briefly featured on Top Gear last night (7th Nov).

The Stig didn't get a go though ;)

They proberbly didn't let the Stig have a go because Clarkeson slagged off GT racing as boring. Self opinionated, smug tosser that's what he is.

Quick question - why the blanket in the grill in some of the pit pics?

To keep the air intake hamsters warm of course!

It's a new aerodynamic theory seen for the first time here. They can be trained to scutter to either side of the intake depending on what sort of corner is coming up, just like in sidecar racing. Amazing isn't it? Why did no-one think of this before?

Apparently, the variation in airflow almost doubles the aerodynamic effect produced previously.

And they say that Britain is losing its motorsport engineering edge! Tsk!
