Not a bad color scheme at all - kind of classic, and it certainly beats the retina-searing Marussia livery. They could use some sponsors, of course. :wink:

But, what's with that logo on the inner rear wing? Eek! :shock:

I don't think "best" means what you think it means.

Looks like the same front and rear wing as the Brawn GP car once again. They've gone for a stepped nose but it becomes really low towards the splitter which seems counter intuitive. A nice undercut at first but complete opposite to the Marussia.

On the plus side they've beaten their previous record of 1 sponsor.

Without that horrible red, and that KH-7 logo on the inner rear wing endplate, it would be acceptable.

I think is KH-7 logo

Finally we can see the car. But some more pictures would be better, to see some details. Stepped nose sims elegant and does not look like a platypus

If only they had ripped off the BGP livery - now that's one of my favorite recent liveries! :lol:

Same Front Wing as last year, but without the upper cascades.

It acually looks a lot like the new GP2 cars, but I actually like the livery a lot! Too bad there aren't any more sponsors :(

Congrats to HRT for beating my prediction of building the car in the pit lane – this is the first year it's been ready before the first race, so we have some progress! The livery is beautiful.

I find it odd that they have a high nose concept, and then such a low monocoque by the time it reaches the splitter – any ideas why you might want that?

Not the tightest side pods, but at least progress from past years.
