They didn't use the shortened version of the track in last year's Asia series, this configuration is about 12 seconds quicker. Although they have done several days testing on the normal, longer track layout, and the cars have already gone quicker than Oliver Turvey's pole position time for the final round of the 2010 main series.
As for the look of the cars, I think they look great! The wide front wing and out of proportion small rear wing simply make them look just like Formula 1 cars, and they have a tailfin which again looks similar. I grew used to the 2009 F1 cars quickly after originally thinking, like everyone else, they looked butt ugly. I think the Lotus ART is just as stunning as the Team Lotus F1 car.
