Pretty sweet livery, although the red, white and black feels a lot like 2/3 ofthe old Champcar field. I really dig the 'tattoo-like' detail on the black towards the end of the car.

Slick looking livery for sure, maybe the best to date. A simple front wing compared to most. Really narrow pointy nose....

Richard Branson is a bad ass.

lol..

yeah, that car looks pretty awesome.. I am sure their wing lacks the little "winglets" because their aero group is probably not as advanced as most of the teams we've seen thus far. I wouldn't expect much of that from Campos or USF1 either..

speaking of campos, it sounds like they are going to miss all of testing and release their car on the eve of the first race due to delays/money issues.

I do like the look of this car, and as CSF said, it does have shades of the old Champ Cars. It'll be interesting to see how this car performs since it was designed without the use of a windtunnel...Computational Fluid Dynamics computer modeling was used.
