The most important thing is the smaller size. Gen 2 was slightly too big for some of the street circuits wich resulted in more crashes and less action than Gen 1. Hopefully Gen 3 will reverse that while being faster overall.

I am convinced that most if not all racing series could be improved by using smaller and lighter cars, even if they went a tiny bit slower. What use is laptimes when you dont get wheel to wheel action anymore?

he styling might be a bit controversial, but the technology inside definitely is going in the right direction both performance as sustainability wise.

This is the closest thing we will get to an A-Wing on wheels in racing lol

40% energy from regen. That's incredibly impressive!!

It looks cool, it will be a lot quicker, it will be more efficient. 10/10

At first I thought it was a downgrade because the gen 2 looks more “complete” but this is a pretty cool car when you take time to take its features in

This is the closest thing to 60s F1 you can get without racing vintage cars.

I love the Gen 2 cars; but this one is growing on me; and the technology inside it does sound very promising.

It feels extremely weird for a racecar to not have a rear wing.

I know that when things change in motorsport, the first comments you hear are the die hard fans complaining about change. No real surprise, then, when FE alters anything, people step up to yell their complaints. If you take a close look at the shape of both cars, the most radical difference is the lack of the wheel covers. The overall change in the shape of the car is not that drastic. And considering the wheel covers are the first thing to come off in close quarters racing, I wonder what do they really add to the car. Maybe there is a reason the vast majority of open wheel race cars don't have wheel covers.

I always thought the Gen2 car looked like an RC car with real drivers. Personally, I think the Gen3 car looks more like an honest open wheel race car. That said, it will be interesting to see what an FE car with more downforce looks like on track.

really love the look of the "tail fins" and the whole back overall

Basically everything about this is good. Lighter, smaller, faster, more regen. Initially the only downside I would have said was the styling, as it looks a bit of a step backwards without the fairing over the wheels. But seeing the in motion shots it actually looks pretty cool and techy.

FE is losing weight with more power and F1 is gaining weight with same'ish power.
I think i could better get into FE if Adrian Newey designed the kit/spec car

It still looks weird to me but the tech is amazing. I did say that the G2 would be fine with aero upgrades but I get why they did it now.
