2017 F1 Car from Gran Turismo - Video

I'm loving those rear tires and the overall dimensions. A lot better than the past recent cars.

Here are some screen shots.

very cool, overall shape is starting to resemble some of the early 2000s V10 era cars.

basically it's the same fugly design and the rear tires look ridiculous. I don't know why they don't just go back to the 2008 cars and develop those.

Looks like clean slate from 2004-2008 era with wider tires. Looking forward to see them in real-life.

Me too....
What I'm really anxious to see is what drivers adapt and who does not.
It should really help determine who the 'good' drivers really are.

Manor released their 2017 car as a goodbye.

Plus also how well drivers and engineers setting up the tires to make them work. As if everyone got a clean slate, suspension and mechanical grip set up is more important then ever.
As well as tire and tire temperature management. Make it work for you, since the contact patch is larger, once they work, they work very well.

Sucks for Manor, not sure I could have managed a smile if I were in that picture.

This is a proper looking F1 car!!

I hope the individual expressions of the regulations manage to look aggressive and give us the 5-6 seconds per lap as promised while being a greater physical challenge for the drivers.

..and as for the whole "being able to follow each other closely" Why dont they just give them a tire compound that isnt so sensitive. The cars can follow each other just fine, its not like they fly off the track when they get to close (yes, sometimes there is noticeable understeer).. but mostly, its just harder on their tires.. thats why they dont do it.

Agreed. I want them to be able to race closely and not have to worry about the tires shredding.

Indeed.

I think VES, HAM, RIC, ALO and RAI will benefit the most from more durable tires. Each of them seem to be able to get a little bit more from the car than is expected and can benefit from a more durable tire.
