I like it because it's different to the previous versions of the 919. Definitely the biggest update on the car since the 2014-15 change.

These are wide front tires/wheels?

They managed to make it uglier than last year's Audi. Impressive.

It's the same on all the cars now, some add a tiny little extra bit of window above the side headrest but it's pointless. http://st.motortrend.ca/uploads/site...n-motion-1.jpg |

Where did side mirrors go?
looks like they've hidden it away behind the front wheel arch...but maybe they are using rear view cameras instead? |

In general last year's 919 had relatively short fenders regardless of configuration so length doesn't really say anything. From what I can guess the mirror is inset into the back of the fender with a clear lexan fairing, making it effectively non-existent aerodynamically. |

So there are either two cars being pictured here or two separate body kits (or nose sections): The car (or kit) in the picture taken in the box is not the same as the car (or nose section) we see out on track.
Compare where the chevron design forms a "V" in the picture taken in the box and the ones taken on track. Also the number colors on the car are different. Also - No opening in the "hump" on the cars on track. Last edited by Spyderman; 27 Mar 2017 at 06:00. |

Doesn't seem like a livery at all just testing aero parts. Hope the new livery is more stripes than just white. It certainly made me look twice, she's no looker.

Wonder why they've allowed the photos to be leaked/released, seen as they have managed to keep the car hidden until now.

I hope the final livery includes the blackened out section around the side windows. It will improve the looks immeasurably. |

Very curious about the aero though. This is the largest evolution aero-wise that we have seen thus far. I honestly think that this is where they will see the largest gains at this point. |

Definitely a much bigger visual change than I expected.
The livery is nothing great, so I too hope that the final product will be better. However, I am of the minority that actually finds the new shape, on balance, more attractive. The sidepod contour and front fender shape are very interesting. Also, really curious what is going on under that upper portion on the sidepod? But, it is a racing car. A lot of its beauty will depend on how fast it is! |

A little OTT: Does anyone remember if we had live timing for the 2016 Prologue? I know we did not have it for the the ones before.
