    While I'll agree with you that the IRL has an ugly car (great racing, ugly chassis), the A1GP has them all beat. That chassis is just butt-ugly.

    I disagree. I think the IRL cars look good. Sure, the A1GP cars look hideous, no argument there, but the ugliest open wheel cars ever have got to be the mid-70s, high-airbox F1 cars with the huge rear tyres, especially the Brabhams.

    I don't see the A1 car as being that ugly. It isn't beautiful, but I think the goofy proportions make an IRL car just a strange looking machine, and dated with its low nose.....

    This GP2 Car looks like it might have been nice looking once, but it looks more and more like a horse designed by committee...NOT GOOD. Still not as goofy looking as an IRL car....

    Well, um, I think the Champcar looks ugly. The Lola, I mean. I't got all sorts of little wings stuck on top of the ones that were already there. Ugly.

    It would be interesting to race GP2's Dallara vs. CC's Panoz DP01.

    I think the Panoz would win. But, given equivalent engines, it would be intriguing
