There were several of these alternative thingies slouching around last year during their parade lap. Since then they had a year's time to make their product
viable, or not. Apparently only the GreenGT got their act together, so fair play to them.

(it lacks a fair amount in the good looks department though)

It does... that's why I'm hoping they move them somewhere else in the car. Or wrap them in crash structures.

I assumed that's why they were mounted on top in a previous concept. But even still, the size of the tanks makes me think it'll be harder to secure them as well as they do with current fuel cells.

The rationale is probably to give them as much time as possible to prepare. The certainty of having a spot will help secure backing.

I do like how they were integrated directly into the car's visual design. And I appreciate they are large out of necessity, so what to do with them?

Can I be the first to state that I hate this. If this is the future of Motorsport count me out. Why couldn't they have given this to an LMP Lola with a Judd engine. Oh wait, I'm not the first.

OK then, can I be the first to say that this is doomed. It will be the biggest failure since man first raced. Worse than the delta wing. Blast, too late again. I'm not very cool.

So, let me just say that this has grown on me and I hope it is a success at Le Mans.
