I must say, the shape of windows on the 007 bothered me since I first saw the livery renders, because nothing lines up.
I'm not a designer or anything, but I've made many liveries for virtual racing in my time, including a few LMPs. This is what I'd do. Strategically leaving some sections in bare carbon will visually unify and streamline the whole canopy. In fact, it would make it look more like the original 007 concept. See below how this trick can transform the look of a prototype, in this case a Lola, an Epsilon Euskadi and to an extreme effect a Peugeot 908. Can't wait to see it race Portugal! |

The thing is it’s a racing car. Today, I was shown round a brand new model recently launched and they pointed out that all the air vents actually did something. I almost whooped with delight that they weren’t just cosmetic. Function first, form second. That’s were real beauty comes from.
I too can’t wait to see it race in Portugal. |

Although the original render is fabulous, the real thing looks very good indeed to me.

Ha, I never said it looked terrible! I care so much precisely because it's a looker and likely to be the only really classy machine in the Hypercar field. Just nit-picking.

Never thought you said it looked terrible! Realised you were nit-picking.

A similar high level shot of the complete car would be excellent.... She's looking pretty hot already.....

How many people took up on the buy clothing get your name on the car deal? I imagine it'll be hard to pick out individual names. I'm sure there's hundreds/thousands of names, but it would be cool to know exactly where to look during the race.

I did, ordered one of the blue sueded crew tees a few days ago - with postage it's more than I'd normally pay for a tee, this isn't a 'normal' tee, and due to Covid lockdowns I haven't been able to go to places and spend money, so thought I'd treat myself

Same, I like it and fits better than the older one of theirs with no logo on the back. I'll have to try to find mine on the car in pictures

The email list they sent out to those of us who did was pretty long, betting we'll need pretty good pictures to see that actual name on the car but I know it's there

Mine should be on there too. If I was at Le Mans this year I suspect all my photo would be of that car trying to find it!

As I've said before, I'd love to sport a Glickenhaus t-shirt while I watch the race and support the team, but the shipping costs render that impossible.

Next week Aragon 3-6/6 Nurburgring 11-13/6 Portimao 8-11/7 Goodwood 16-18/7 Monza 21-22/8 24 h. Le Mans Is this correct Jim? |

I'm going to be at the FOS for all 4 days as I'm stewarding in one of the grandstands on each of the mornings and free each afternoon, so I'm looking forward to seeing it!
