I think standing there having your photo taken with those trophies, err I mean girls, is all the trophy Stefan will need.
I think that pic comes from last year's Petit race where Stefan did rather well. Can't remember exactly how well, but Stefan told me the trophies, err ... girls, were ample reward.
And thanks to Stefan for making my point perfectly. Winning is what counts, and X - Cars win. When we are designing a car, we have no concern whatever for what the body will look like. The car must be the fastest thing out there and easy to drive fast too. That's a tall order.
Then we give it to Jason Ruona along with some ideas for where we want downforce and tell him to make that look as good as possible. With all that -- no thought given to aesthetics in the design process, then aerodynamic concerns -- Jason does a fabulous job of making things look about as good as possible.
All the aftermarket bodies I have seen don't have as much downforce as the Kit body. On some tracks that may be good.
