Wow...nice pics, Fab!

I notice that the C65 frontal photo shows how Courage have adapted to the new aero rules. If you get a chance to phtograph the undertray, you will be my hero!

Great shots Fab!

Raises a couple of questions though...

It looks as though Barron Connor's deal with Saeco must just have been for Sebring. Will they still have enough backing to take part in all the races they talked about at the start of the year? Is Sullivan paying for his ride, or is he the worm to bait the media coverage?

Is Kaneishi just filling in for the weekend for RfH, or is he THE guy? I hope not, based on his dismal performance in the DTM last year.

Great stuff. Thanks for the pictures. It is getting quite exciting now!

Apparantly (according to DSC) the Dome has the old wider wings on it. Has anyone seen these?

I think they ran the 200cm wing at Paul Ricard also didn't they? And yes they would fail inspection with this configuration.
