Adventurous? Not at all. Hardly "safe" going to the open wheeler route. Much more difficult to produce a car that doesn't end up too draggy. Aston has gone the safe route with a rather uninspired front end aero package, there's nothing revolutionary there and it harkens back to the early days of LMP900.
