  • Vaporware DP01 somehow seen in wind tunnel

    Apparently, it achieved solidity just long enough to give back some hard data... but it only formed up half-sized...



    Interested observers were disappointed at the lack of grooved tires...

    But Jim said all there is was pretty pictures, nothing else. You know, engineers still scratching their heads, no idea on dimensions of the car etc. because thats all there is to assume because CC didn't give those so concerend that infact there was progress. I hate to tell you but, I told you so.

    pfeeeww!

    That IS a beuty though.

        That looks significantly different from the CAD photos!

        More like an F1 car than a Champ Car

        Sure is friggin' pretty.

          I hear Jason Leffler, the world's smallest racecar driver, is available...

            Hell yes it's pretty. It's like an F1 car but without all of those weird-ass winglets and aero tweaks and stuff.

            You know... this would look really really pretty driving across that yard of bricks near the end of May...

            I do have to wonder, though... how the hell did the company responsible for the G-Force IRL car come up with something so drool-worthy? Maybe I'm starstruck, but I don't think even an airbox would make this thing ugly...

              Its Dale Jr in the cockpit

              Whats odd is that, are all the toolboxes half scale too? The car looks bigger then %50, kinda weird.

              This should be a great car indeed.

                  I think it's a great looking car. G-force and Panoz always were my favorite looking cars in the IRL.

                  I'd like to see KK come over to the IRL and bring that car and engine with him. As mr tibbs said in 'heat of the night'. Be sensible. He would be by bringing his car to Mindy.

                    Hey, if it turns into 14 pages of pictures of this thing, count me in!

                          Tell Tony to tell Panoz to build an IRL car like it and come over...... remember, the DP01 is a 5 year evolution of the IRL car in a number of areas.

                          Or tell Tony to relax his rules.

                            Anyone got an idea what those two humps on top in front of the cockpit are for?
                            If you break a vase and then glue it back together and the vase loses it's value, you do not get credit for fixing it. You get the blame for damaging it....
