I don't see a direct frontal shot of the black one but IMHO the paint makes a ton of difference in how asthetically pleasing they are. The Black One IMHO is passable to this Open Wheel fan. The White one. BLAH!
While Mr. Ashmore has many degrees, and a great history in auto racing. At the show today I ask many people if he had ever built or designed a front engine race car? And every one told me no. Is this really true? Maby this is the problem. Another question is, have these been tested on a race track? A steel tube frame at those speeds they wish to run is really old school and unsafe for sure.
