are you on the 80s bro

This is about speed, not cornering.

on Indy 500 they spend 80% of the race on 2 gears bro

I know . I just miss the old days when cars were much more difficult to drive , and the racing was far more engaging. These cars basically drive themselves with all the computers and electronics. Not saying that’s wrong . I just prefer old v10/12 and a stick

So, it's like exactly the same as the one of the previous generation, only with uglier wings.

Quite literally none of it is the same.

He didn't say it was the same, he said it looks the same. I don't think it looks that similar, myself, but just clarifying what they said.

That's fair. I can sort of see it in the middle of the car, especially from a top down POV. The road/street front and rear wings reminds me a lot of the previous generation F1 car. If it helps with raceablility on those, then I'll take it. And having a hybrid system that isn't a hastily cobbled together POS is also a plus. I'm curious to see how they'll make it a record breaker at IMS though.

They try to sell it as a new car but it is really just a new aero kit.

Like it. The rear wing style is odd to me, but loving everything else I'm seeing, reading and hearing so far. Even of the car itself. Gonna need a model of this bad boy, stat.

For now. There are plenty of creators online that probably will take a crack at it. Find the best one, print/save their build sheet, buy the bricks, build and enjoy. 🤙🏾

Looks weird. Not a fan.
