From what they are saying, the cars being assembled now for the series are nicer in a lot of subtle ways to the prototype.
I have to say the 'mule' is a tidy piece of gear. The build quality is top notch.
Personally, I have never cared at all about the blue/red tribal thing. Its a bit 'meathead' IMHO. What will be neat to see is so many top drivers looking to extract every last bit of performance from their cars. The slightest mistake will cost dearly in grid positions.

Yep I got to have a good snoop around the beast, looks like they have changed a few things since i saw it at the speedshow, like the new air intake, the front bar, the Brembo brakes, even the wheels looked different somehow.
The new wing was attached to a spare boot lid and looks very trick, unfortunately I dont think they got to run it, because there were so many delays in the program. I agree all the guy's were really approachable and friendly, so cant wait for the first round now.
