Or, correctly, gratuitous Duratec video.
Could that fiberfab car be any uglier?

Hmmm, I see some flame war potential here.....
I think so far we avoided matters of personal brand preference here.

actually, I like the looks, but the rollbar is completely useless. Mine is almost level with my helmet. That's 3" shorter.

The standard Westfield roll bar is good for push starting the car, but that's about it. The factory offers a proper roll bar as an option.

Well, I would not buy one for the sake of beauty...but beauty is in the proverbial eye of the beholder. Obviously Donkervoort has made a living with their cars for some 30 years and although they developed the Se7en concept in a, well, special direction, their cars are really fast. Hey, if somebody likes that design, why not. I am not the judge. Actually, I think you can buy easily a Caterham CSR for the price of a Donkervoort. Since I can not afford either one I don't care too much http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/smile5.gif
Beat one on the track and then you can slag them.....

Tell us how great your favorite seven is without bashing others http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/toetap05.gif
There are other corners of the interweb for bashing other sevens http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/leaving.gif

I for one, like the looks of that car. It's better in the vid than in the static photos I've seen before. I don't hate the Donk, either. Truth be told, my favorite Se7en in terms of looks is the Dax Rush.
I had a good laugh about the lap belt. My crotch strap only fits if I have the seat all the way back...so I just run with the "4 point" system. It's never as loose as it was on that driver, though.
