I know, Jay Penske run in the past, but one or two days later Lotus announced Dragon Racing. Did Lotus maybe Jay Penkse?

Looks like Penske isn't changing their paintschemes. Can't seem to get the embeddable image URL on mobile, but it's here: http://twitter.com/#!/Ryan_Briscoe/status/159005323657613312/photo/1/large
Also, Briscoe's car number will be #2 this year.

Say what you want about the DW12, but that Lotus scheme just makes it look more badass than it should be.

DW12 in Road Course Trim is awesome, not so much with oval Aero.

The car itself still looks stupid, but that Lotus livery is fucking amazing. The Verizon livery also helps make the car less ugly.

Looks great, looking forward to this season. But Paul Tracy again? No thanks.

I hope Paul Tracy can finally land a ride, otherwise Indycar is just half of its value.

Why? He's old and he's not that great. IndyCar doesn't need him going forward, and I'd say having him for the sake of having him sets IndyCar back. It'll be a great day when split era drivers are all phased out.

I like PT because he's one of those old skool aggressive hard chargers. Problem is that he's getting a little too old now and I don't think the speed is still there. I could just see him running 15th - 20th every race and driving into the side of people. If he does get a drive, I'd be happy if he proves me wrong.
