    you can say that again
    usually I'm not fan of driver's heads and faces because despite the efforts there is alway something kitsch and I prefer the visor without seeing too much, but here we have also light reflects inside the helmet and face in perspective. Nice !

    For me, it looks like a real Piquet in a real Brabham now, everything is perfect!

    Story regarding the nose oil cooler.....

    "In Canada, the Brabham team introduced a curious additional radiator on the nose that was mounted on the car that improved reliability. Piquet won the race (after having retired from the previous 6 races, mostly through engine or turbo failure), but the additional radiator heated to the point that Piquet suffered burns on his right foot when pushing the accelerator pedal down; The heat had actually burnt a hole through his boots and he went to the podium barefoot after receiving first aid."

    Canada...

    Some years back when living in Dallas we went to Fair Park as it was being prepped for a shifterkart race using the same layout. Those were just after winding down 5 years of SKUSA shifterkart racing with my son and I borrowed a kart to take a few laps. The track was almost too small for a shifterkart, let alone an F1 car.

    As for the new car, if its anything like your previous work I'll be buying y'all a few more cups of coffee when its released.
