As I understand it teams will be able to buy (or manufacture their own?) different extensive aero packages for their cars based around only the central tub, so all going to plan the actual shape shown there may end up varying quite a bit hopefully. 
Big picture warning, don't moan I don't care.

BP reckon they might've got it capped.
Right, start your watches, lets see how long it takes for the fickle ranting idiots to forget, if they haven't already.

There will always be a place for the Delta Wing down at Arena Essex...

Joachim Low looks like hes from the 90s with that barnet of his. 
As for the article, Jtbo?

The results are damning enough.
You can hardly blame the man though, dumped in the hot seat with little practice, and way past his best, 15 years ago Badoer could've done a solid job.
Well its all part of a very patronising attitude that older people have towards younger people thanks to the hysterical media, in the same way that people like to think that playing a shooter for a few hours will make children want to shoot up the town and young adults being 'exposed'* to pornography will make them into rapists, the popular opinion is that racing games make kids think they are racing drivers.
In truth the majority of young people are not that stupid and can tell the difference between the virtual world and reality, and I find it really insulting when older types talk as if we can't. Its all driven by ignorance of how young people really think which creates fear and suspicion, youth and young adulthood isn't as sheltered and naiive as it was in the conservative old days.
In reality its usually the complete faliure of parents to instill their children with some sort of moral compass, so they can tell the difference between right and wrong, virtual or real that helps cause 'kids' to become murderers, rapists or drive dangerously, but who wants to admit that they're a failed parent when its much easier to blame it on the evil interwebs when your own kids are giving you lip because you didn't teach them respect.
Of course there are a minority of those who can't tell the difference between the virtual world and reality, but there will always be idiots within each generation or social group, and they are a minority.
*when in fact they actively seek it out due to hormones, it dosen't just jump out at you as soon as you enter the internet as some seem to think.

IMO its the other way round, racing in real life made me better at computer games.
Yes I'm sure none of the supposedly wise adults of this forum have never done 80mph through a corner. The emphasis is on kids while the roads are still full of aggressive gits who tailgate or the absent minded who drift along in a self righteous bubble while causing chaos. But nevermind about these, lets blame road accidents on 'kids' using worn out stereotypes, and while we're at it lets blame eveything else on immigrants and jews just to save even more time.
Just because you don't hear about driving stupidity caused by supposedly older and wiser folk dosen't mean it hardly happens, just it dosen't make such a good story what with it not fitting in with the established boy racer stereotype upon which things as serious as car insurance are based!
In my case it was 100mph at a corner, but I can't help having no brakes can I?

Why don't you get to understand the situation of the accident before you open your wise old gob?
Ooof nasty FWD never easy with oversteer.
I already talked about quite an embarrasing accident last time out one off racing a 924 at Anglesey last autumn, these are the only thumbnails I could find courtesy of one of BRSCC North Western's photographer people, might buy the full size images...
Went into the barrier sideways at a fair rate. Basically the brake pads knocked off when I hit a curb so when I got to braking for Rocket, which happens to be the hardest/highest speed braking zone on the track, I had none. Within a minute im surrounded by an ambulance and about 20 different wreckers for what was really quite a minor accident, just I got some air before I dissapeared from view and lots of tyres got thrown up in the air so it looked far worse from the pitlane.
British marshalls/medical/other voulenteers are amazing and so friendly, nearly all done just for the fun of it but in a professional way, great people.
