    That makes sense, that must be the floor leading to the exit behind the front fender...I guess that shows how raised the nose of the monocoque was and how much sheer space was under the bodywork....

    autosport.com - Other News: McLaren: No plans for sportscar team

    Not quite related yet, but seems to be the closest subject...

    Now that sounds almost word for word exactly like what they said about the McLaren F1.....so who knows...

    Doesn't look as good as previous...but that isn't what matters.

    The front area is quite revised also.

    I like that shot in that you can see how "curved" the front diffuser/splitter is....

    R15 Plus crashed in Sebring testing...
    BREAKING: Audi R15 plus crashes at Sebring’s Turn 17

    Ahh Rocky....he is really pushing his luck, what with his Debut crash with R10 in 2007....and now the crashing of the only R15 Plus so far....

    Makes you think why Audi kept him but not Luhr(or for that matter, Pirro, Biela, or Werner....)....

    Car was back out this morning, and here's the rear of the car(either before it was backed into the tires, or this morning after repairs): Mulsanne's Corner News, March/April 2010

    autosport.com - Le Mans News: Werner seals Highcroft Le Mans deal

    Good for Highcroft and Werner.....despite his success he is a much underrated driver in the superstar-laden Audi lineup....

    This is Always, IMO the ultimate test of man & machine and this year will be very interesting to see where the results lead to, of course I am looking to the Corvette team to claim a victory.

    Audi R15+ testing at Monza-I don't know if this will be the final paint scheme, but from the descriptions I've heard else where, it seems to be emulating a stylized version of the German flag with flashes of German racing silver mixed in.

    What is the word on outright pace this year? Does Peugeot still maintain an advantage?

    I figure they will still be faster than Audi.

    No one's said anything, and observers at Sebring on the Monday and Tuesday that Audi and Peugeot were at Sebring testing said that Audi and Peugeot were logging laps and running about the same pace, though what that pace was isn't known.

    Second video of Audi at Monza-this time, it's the black #2 R15+, and it doesn't seem to be slowing much for that first corner after blowing the chicane-just a dab a brakes to set the car.

    If the R15+ can have respectable straightline speed(which Audi, with the oval tests at Homestead and EuroSpeedway and the Monza high speed layout test, are trying to aim for), and still have a car that's quick though the corners and still have a handling edge over Peugeot, Audi should be competitive at Le Mans, now that the car seems to be mechanically sorted with the endurance tests at Sebring the past couple of months.

    That seems like an awesome livery!
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
