I think it looks stunning. Going with a closed cockpit has just improved its look IMO.
I'll be interested to hear C's opinion as he's a big sports car fan.
I would hope they keep it in the black scheme, it just looks right, and that at night would be so awesome to watch, just a set of lights lol.

I doubt the black scheme will remain - the both iterations of the R15 were first revealed wearing "natural" black, and the silver is too intricately linked with the brand. As for the hood, if it rains, the drivers will be happy! The press are saying it's a break from Audi's traditional open cockpit, but of course, they forget the original R8C of late 90s, a splinter from the Audi works team which eventually led to the Bentley (Audi!) Speed 8... :)

A couple of interesting rule changes, personally I still rate the Barclay Blower and the GT40 8-)

The car is simply stunning, and very menacing in black. Would also love to see it keep the black, but we all know they will most certainly be silver. One can only hope however!

I think they hired Batman to drive it too!  ;D
