Hugewally should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Maybe December or the official unveiling (whenever that is)...

I like the sound of this!!

I am thoroughly intrigued! If this car is like nothing we have seen before, I can hardly even imagine what it is. Will it be a coupe or an open topper? of did they invent a third option? hahahaha. Can't wait for some pics!

My guess, a weird nose like below, or some kind of wing interegrated into the main bodywork, inspired by the Porsche RS Spyder winglets being given the go ahead.

It's my favourite 90's supercar, ahead of it's time, a Mclaren F1 looks dated by comparison.

Front-engined is what first came to mind for me too, I would be very surprised if that turned out to be the case, though

Built in double front splitter. My guess that car will need on big wing to counter balance that front downforce

What else would generate a response such as "you'll be surprised"? I can't think of anything else really and I'd be surprised as hell if it was front engined...

I for one, doubt we'll be highly surprised. There is only so much one can do within the rules... it seems. I'll be happy to eat crow if I'm wrong, but this probably won't look too different than anything else, save some minor differences.

Not doubting you at all Mike, you reported what you were told, the right thing to do. Maybe it will look like a DP.

The surprise could be a greenhouse added to their modified Courage chassis?

naw, fifth tyre on mounted on center at the polar moment will be enough revolution for the first year. The pit stop routine will be a challenge
