Changes in aerodynamics, help them to be the fastest car and get the pole position???
Domes have always been fast in a straight line. Jan Lammers used to breeze past Audi R8s on the Mulsanne Straight - then the Audis would breeze back past when they got to a corner again.

I'd be surprised if the Dome is not the fastest car through the speed traps. I'd be equally surprised though if this car kept up with the manufacturers. I don't think it will be as quick as the R18 through the Porsche Curves - high speed corners almost become straight lines for cars as aerodynamically sophisticated as the R18.

In terms of pole positions - a pole position in 'best of the rest' wouldn't be beyond this car, I wouldn't have thought.
