What people should remember is that we don’t choose between good looking and bad looking wheel covers. We choose between racing (if this thing works) and no racing.

Absolutely! I really hope they figure out a design that allows them drive in extreme wet contlditions.

Agreed. I bet this version is probably a prototype to see if they’re even remotely in the ballpark of containing spray. If it does work well then they can improve the form.

It won’t work because most spray comes from the diffusor

Definitely ruins the aesthetic, but if it helps with spray I guess it’s a good thing. Would make pit stops a bit harder I imagine though.

Nice static surface for sponsors, imagine the Ferraris running with 4 HP logos for wheels

The best potential sponsorship location since the LED hubcaps on the 2022 reg concept car.

Zak’s probably already brought in a tonne of sponsors to cover them.

“So we need something to protect the driver’s head, let’s add some kind of brace in front of their face.”

“Ok now there’s too much water being sprayed around when it’s raining so let’s add some kind of cover over the wheels!”

WEC people be like “What the hell is wrong with these guys?”
