Under special circumstances the first nominated driver can still be changed.

I realized my mistake when I check the rules. See my edited post above.

Last week a lot more pictures were taken from the Pecom Oreca. See for instance http://www.motorsport.com/alms/photo...93&dl=a&d=3777

That's the 2011-spec car though, we still have to see any photos of the new 2012 version.

That may be intentional. The Muscle Milk car did not have it either. I don't think Highcroft's ARX-01e had it last year as well. The Strakka and RML P2 cars had it though. Perhaps Honda is only badging the P2 cars. Then again, L5's cars did not have a Honda badge at the test. Well, we'll see who is carrying what at the start of the year.

With the fish-eyes and the flippers it looks like a Murloc...
Darn you advanced aerodynamics! |

So true the ARX-01a/b headlights were my favorite modern sportscar fascia...they just looked so purposeful and aggressive in that they channeled Acura styling...I guess it wouldn't make much sense to do that anymore but certainly it's more pleasing to the eye than this! Though I agree, something about Strakka's livery makes it much less noticeable than with the Muscle Milk -03a.

well, we all know the reason for this rule changing. BTW could someone tell me clearly what are the champs inside WEC? because ACO hasn't been clear at all explaining.
I know that there is: lmp1 drivers cup: drivers champ for lmp1 class lmp1 manufacter cup: champ reserved for manufacters (toyota and audi) lmp1 best private team: team champ reserved for private lmp1 team (pescarolo, rebellion, oak, strakka and JRM) lmp2 team champ: champ for lmp2 team (this mean that lmp2 won't have a driver champ?) gt drivers cup: champ for gt drivers (there will be a different classification for pro class and am class ? ) gt manufacters cup: champ for ferrari, corvette and porsche brand without difference between pro and am class (this means that there won't be a team gt champ?) (please correct me if i'm wrong) |

I agree. The Acura ARX.01b is the most visually aggressive LMP i have ever seen. The wavy splitter adds a nice touch as well. The headlights where sharp and poised. When they changed to HPd it certainly was not as stylish.

Some high resolution pictures of the Lola B12/80 on http://endurance-info.com/version2/a...ance-9618.html
The new front is based on the nose that Rebellion used last year. I also rather like it. |
