The arguments ranged from ‘the worst thing since the fan-car’, to ‘utterly hideous’ before it came on the car, but what’s your view now?

It’s becoming common in motorsport, from F1 through F2, F3 to Toyota Racing Series in NZ. The more we see it, familiarise with it, and the video production teams integrate their graphics and camera angles, the less it gets in the way.

I watched a race from 2017 and initially felt the drivers were exposed, but really liked the easier identification and watching the behavior of the drivers in the cockpit.

I feel it still get’s in the way, but it has been well accommodated by the industry and is an invaluable safety device as we’ve seen. That said, I still look forward to future developments which will make this piece of steel look agricultural in hindsight.
