This was awful !!!
Oh, I actually preferred that Panoz

For me, the R8R is much prettier than the R8, mainly because of the hoop.

But I guess it's down to what you grow up with!

One question I have - and I appreciate this is off-topic, but I've aways wondered and never had an answerr - why did these coll cages suddenly dissapear in the early 2000s? Was it a regulation change, or did all the prototype teams have an epiphany?
