Looks better than halo, but looks to me like it would distort the drivers view considerably. Apparently it's effective on small debris, less effective on things the size of wheels. Plus the problem of oil and rain smearing it over a two hour race is still there, I guess large tear offs like WEC could be used.

What do you guys think?

I'd like to see the result of a wheel being fired at that like the test they did with the canopy when it was being considered. I could be wrong but I don't think it would fair too well.

Red Bull's solution still looks the most effective too me and is not that dissimilar to the shield if they are concerned about aesthetics


Both in my opinion look better than the halo
