Speaking of houses, this one by Willow Springs Raceway recently sold for $620K. Would make a good AirBnB type place for racers going to Willow Springs looking for lodging and garages for their cars. Property has two big garages, one that can house 3 RVs, and another that can house 2 RVs.

I'm looking forward to seeing it in good lighting. I think there may be some tricks going on with the leading edge of the floor and at the rear.

Vertical sides of airbox from the front reminds me of the BAR 002 and the Sauber C20.

Driveshaft shrouded by suspension arm

Is the hump the start of the diffuser? Looks like it starts at the leading edge of the rear wheel but looks like it slopes down behind it. Might be an optical illusion.

Another shot of the driveshaft shrouds, forms a poor man's beam wing

Well let's see how they look when they roll out of the garage. The S duct is here to stay as long as the abrupt curve at the top of the nose is present.
