I for one think the front view looks outstanding, loving the design and the airflow work either side looks fascinating.

Pandemonium has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
WHAT A BEAUTIFULL LMP2. Yes yes indeed the perfect world means a field of 20 LMP1´s but hey you get what you get. Amazing design. Completly different and more towards the Peugot side. Amazing Amaazing indeed.

I like it, even with the wedge nose. Looks "purposeful" in the same way the R18 does, but with a much more striking appearance.

Let´s not forget that DOME have LMP1 design ready, they just need a manufacture to bring things life.

Imagine The Dome S103 LMP1 with the front fenders like the wind tunnel picture seen a few months back:

And now a wishful thinking: Dome S103 - BMW engine!!!!!!!!

Don't know about that but I for one think it looks nothing like Domes of the past - thankfully

It is rather good looking I must say - which is rare today. Too bad I can't see this thing hanging past midnight

With Leventis still onboard P2 is honestly much better place for them.

Well unless ACO goes ahead with the all-pro driver lineups (as it should)

Agreed that P2 makes more sense. It's a competitive P2 car, isn't that interesting enough without hoping it becomes a P1 field-filler?

Nice looking and different to the other cars, the new Ligier, Dome, HPD and Oreca are each looking quite unique to me. Hope a couple of open cars stick around for more diversity, but the P2 rules need to extended soon for my money, none of this talk about changing them. Cars are there, but they need some stability in order to be making sales to teams.

The same cars were in lmp2 the last few years so it is nice to see some different designs, this one is clearly top of my list.

Looks ok. Not the cleanest front end, but very different. I just hope it goes well and runs up front if it cant win. Dome could use more interest. Imo the rear of the car is much more appealing.

They've not exactly proved that over the last few years trying have they? It took the Rebellions falling off last year for Nick and the boys to come past.

Honestly the trio are a fantastic proposition in P2, but if they ever want to be a serious contender in LMP1 (L) Nick would have to step aside and let another pro get in. He spent most of the last few Le Mans races filling the seat during safety car periods to get to his minimum drive time. That left all the rest of the driving to his team mates. In a fast fight they couldn't afford to have Nick in the car.

He is a great champion for sportscar racing and what he does should be applauded, but P2 is the best place for them. In P2 they are genuinely one of the strongest teams.

The new Dome S103, with this front end, looks like a high downforce race car.

Did they sacrifice top speed to have more downforce?!?!?

The car looks astonishing beautiful.

That will be interesting to find out at the Le Mans Test Day. I seem to remember Dome's last LMP to have a quite good terminal velocity.

Slight livery addition for the StrakkaDome.



Looks like it matches the helmet of Nick Leventis? Good to see it testing at Spa.

It looks like a low downforce car to me, like they were going for small frontal area. Maybe the bunch of fins are there to organize the flow before it hits the rear spoiler.

And yes, its a damn beautiful car!
