Like so many other 'art cars' it goes to show that execution, even of a good idea, is very difficult indeed. |

The body looks a lot cleaner than before and not too dissimilar from the R10.

Does this actually mean we'll be able to view the race online?

Why wouldn't ES International put that on the webpage, I actually checked and it's not there on the "live streaming" page. At least not yet? |

About Epsilon Euskadi, I think is a bit early to predict something like that, and Dallara is doing a pretty good job in that class |

Yes, it's on the German ES page like Satorian linked but not on the international ES.
Why... I don't know. The list is more complete in the German page too. |

The Courage-Oreca livery looks strangely familiar..
While unorthodox I think it will be nicely distinguishable when out on the track, which is always a nice thing. |

Well o.k.,as long as we see it somewhere I'm happy.
Really looking forward to the first real clash of the titans at Barcelona. |

I think it looks a bit like...a Cougar group C!
Heritage gents, heritage. I like it, me and DJ look we're gonna be fighting it's corner! It isn't as nice looking a chassis as the LC70 though. |

Reminds me a bit of the Chamberlain Dome from a few years back ..... This is starting to grow on me . I suspect I will have to see it in the flesh !!!
It certainly is strange though . |

Honestly... I think Oreca completely ruined one of the nicest looking open prototypes in recent history. Way to go! (not)

Great news from Barcelona, it seems that the Montmelo's organizers are doing a good promotion of the race. Two protos, a R10 and a 908, have been showing in the city centre, at Plaça Universitat, and there was an official presentation of the race with M. Gene and V. Ickx.
The only problem? It's only available in Spanish or Catalan http://www.circuitcat.com/espanol/noticia.asp?id=5074 Gene talked about the basic performance of a prototype, and of course he said that he would like to win at home. Vanina said that even though Rollcentre is not able to compete against the works teams, she is delighted to compete with an LMP1 proto (endurence magic she added) But this is what we wanted, a proper promotion of the series. We'll see this weekend how does it work. |

The oreca reminds me a bit of the R10 when you see it from the front, don't like the livery though.

Hot damn that car is ugly, what a shame. Chassis looks so nice, and then they destroy it with that livery. Drugs are bad hmmkay!?

I kind of like the Oreca Courage. It has this "molten Rubik's cube" thing going for it.
It's not spectacularly beautiful, but somehow quite charming in its oddity. I like it. |
