This weekend the soonest but most likely next week.
Also Realtime Racing/Acura has an announcement tomorrow. |

perhaps related to Ryan Eversley's driving announcement for 2015 that is coming up today?

Windshield isn't as "cab-forward" as in concept rendering, obviously due to rules and practicality reasons. Windshield reminds me of the Audi R18 and Toyota TS040.
Also, the body of the engine intake snorkel is used as a "legality" bump to maintain an otherwise heavily fastback roof line. And there's a lot more flat surfaces/angular lines than on any other current LMP1 or LMP2 car. |

It's not Ligier-pretty, but it's certainly slab-sidedly different from the rest, which I approve of. Probably the ride height setting in that pic, but looks like those fenders could take larger wheels.

Hard to tell a lot from a single pic, but I like it so far!

The original renderings looked bit better as they always do (full livery will help later though), and it's not really radically different looking from the Oak coupe and others, but that's still my favourite new gen P2 look right there. Like the big windows and sleek front design.

Mr Fuller has two other pictures on his facebook page.(front and of the driver with door open-close side view)
The front view is the ARX-04b best side. |

Looks a lot different than other lmp2's. Immediately recognizeable with that shape and front fender detail.

Dang, that HPD ARX-04b looks great! Of course, I wish the cockpit should have that curved trapezoid look when seen at the front...

The front view differiates it more from the others. Really digging it
I can't say I was ever a particularly great fan of ESM but I'll be rooting for this car at LM for sure |

I don't get that decision. Why would you want to stick to useless Conti-Hoosiers until the end of the March? What kind of data does that provide? Yeah of course you need those spec tires for the two domestic events but nothing prevents you to use whatever you want in private testing
