I name it the "Deirdre Callahan" (Charles Rodrigues fans will know what I mean by that). Chevy body kit, many reports early today were that this was thought to have been a hoax. Alas, it wasn't.

Ewwwww!

Ya'll know I don't watch Indycar but we have to admit that even with F1, the 20-teens has become the Ugly Car Era.

What is all that crap?

Just shows how much of a complete rolling trash can of a mechanical design they made with the DW12.

yes, it hurts you eyes to look and you cannot " un-see" it...
but it looks like those mirrors are perfect ! - from the first shot to the second, they didn't change a bit !

I see they have different wings. Testing different configurations I presume.

I like the concept of aero kits to add a bit more tech to the series and move it just a tad away from a pure spec series.

However, they look like some of those ridiculous F1 aero attempts.

They certainly need to update the rules to make them less ugly.
