The sidepods are Lotus-alike. Old front has been fitted. That means either they just fitted an old one, or they found enough rear downforce.

Looks weird this car.

[elf341]

Sidepod intakes seem to have a lotus-like kink in them

[Joie de vivre]

Interesting sidepods!

Winning car for sure!!!

[turbof1]

The roll-hoop is almost blade-like. Very thin.

Looks weird this car.

Indeed, very strange.
