The trailer is dark blue and orange though... maybe a livery like the mid-90s McLarens and the Kremer K8 in '94?

Really liking the new crop of Lolas. Shame there isn't going to be anyone in the Gulf cars to really push them it would seem. Ditto the Lotus.

That new B12 P2 body looks fantastic. The best looking current car, IMO. I hope Rebellion changes its front end in the same way.

Giroix might be able to get the thing going fairly quickly, but he's probably not got the outright pace he once did. I was hoping Stuart Hall's involvement would be on this side of the Gulf Racing breakup but not to be. Surely they have enough money to at least tack a pro onto the second car. Wonder if the 3rd seat in the Lotus will go to the funding from the LM reserve car or if a pro will find their way into that car too...

The new front end is more similar to the low-drag version they were running a lot last year rather than the high-drag one they had on for the shakedown recently. Wonder whether there will be a 2012 version of the latter as well?

Yeah, judging from those pictures that's a good looking car! I like that there's still some open-top lmp1 machines, good to have some variation.

And I love the all black pre-season cars!

Wow so much ambition there from Lotus. I suppose it suits them to not have the quickest line-up when all they seem to be after is a moving billboard!

According to autohebdo, Maxime Jousse announced for the #28 Gulf Racing Lola. Anyone know who he is? Any relation to Julien?

Is it just me, or the front looks a bit more like ARX-01e from Sebring '11? The front fenders seem to be somewhat elongated and with larger headlights.

Do you reckon they've fitted wider fronts like Lola?

It seems that way. The front fenders look significantly wider.

The maximum width of P2 tires are 14" as opposed to 16" for P1, no?

A good choice indeed if you don't want the car to finish.

will really AMR run again in 2012 with all those waivers that vantage got last year, even if they will use a new and developed car?
then, why did corvette obtain a so large increase of their restrictors size? last year the car has always been competitive

Good find, that is a very interesting document. I too am puzzled as why the Corvettes received a larger restrictor. Below I have attached an edited form of that FIA document to show how the cars will compare this season. This includes the 2011 changes which are carried-over and the new changes are in Bold. I put a question mark for the lotus on fuel capacity because they left that spot blank. Also I am wondering if there is a typo on their chart for rear wing height for the Porsche and Ferrari, are they required to run with a lower wing than everyone else?
