Crawford DP
The front of the crawford reminds me on a 90s Toyota GroupC car.

I thought the car looked really smooth from the 3/4 view you see from the banking...very nice.

Yeah it has that TS010 look to it especially with a good paintjob that masks the roofline...

I don't think TS010 is quite the right car to make the comparison too. It looks a lot like some of the old C2 cars.
The nose looks quite 956 like IMO. It's easily the prettiest of all the DPs |

I would agree on the Crawford DP with the post sabove, and with p on the resemblance to some of the old C2 cars...
It is the nicest looking one of the DPs, but of course that is a relative comparison....I'm still not big on the large greenhouses...at least they seem to make it mor palatable... BTW....Max Crawford's daughter was the aerodynamicist for that DP chassis when they developed it in the windtunnel....she apparently serves in a same capacity with Jordan in F-1.... |

It is a nicely proportioned car. I was so happy to see them done up in racing livery and not bare carbon fibre.

From what i obsereved down at the south banking(nascar 1&2) the Crawford easily had the best top speed. It wasn't the quickest in the infield but it sure made up for it on the speedway...

exactly, and that's why it'll do best on the high speed tracks. Just watch at Homestead, it'll be doing similar speeds on the main sections, especially with the new re-constructed track.
