New 2007 Dallara - what have they done?
Source: gp2series.com
More ugly than a Bolton win?
New for '07 we have:
- An engine-cover-mounted mid-wing[/*:m:1mykrn5y]
- New sidepod-mounted exhaust chimneys[/*:m:1mykrn5y]
- A new rear wing assembly[/*:m:1mykrn5y]
Last season they had a go at giving it a bit of a slap around the face by raising the nose. Now it has a fractured jaw.
OK, so it's not that bad. Nonetheless, in two years they've gone about turning what was the sexiest single-seater racing into something a lot less pretty. I'm at a loss to explain this one.

The car's beginning to sprout F1-style aero devices which is not a good thing If it ain't broke don't fix it

Maybe F1 would learn something if the more advanced aero makes the series visibly less exciting than this year.
It may be the only way to get the message to the FIA upstairs offices.

As the F1 feeder series they must have decided there was too much racing last year, they now have made it more like an F1 car to reduce overtaking.

The GP2 cars approach to F1 cars design more and more each year... It's a crazy rumour, but I read in some years, they could use a basic R25-26 chassis, and a V8 "capped" (Less power, if you can't understand me...) taken from a F1...

I dont know why they bothered with the extra little wings, but the chimney's are for colling (a problem the Mechacrome engine has always had) and the new rear wing is to increase set up options because last years car ran with maximum rear downforce almost every race because the rule makers removed one of the rear elements when Heiki Kovaleinen found the cars too easy to drive with the new slick tyres.

I can see them ruining GP2 soon. We all know overtaking in F1 is non existant because of all the winglets and things. Now they put them on GP2 cars.
Um......hello! Make F1 look like GP2
