Lee Janotta should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hey, that design could actually evolve into a heck of a sportsracer! Very smart and aggressive design with the miniscule front rolling stock, very reminiscent of the all-conquering Ferrari 312 P. It'd take close co-operation with a tire manufacturer to produce a suitable set of tires for the car, but the reductions in drag should more that make up for the loss in mechancial grip, especially if you fitted a wider pair of wheels and tires in front to offset the reduced contact patch.

The back end, though... I just think you could stuff a more efficient diffuser at the back if you didn't have that sudden curling down of the bodywork. That could also produce some unwanted turbulence along the underside of the rear wing.

The footbox could do with little bit of trimming, but not much.

I'd suggest tying the rear wing endplates to the bodywork, worked great for Audi and Riley & Scott.

All told, _very_ cool.
