The red loop between the exhaust is the tow strap in case the car were to end up in a gravel trap or somewhere it would need to be pulled out of. The red button isn't really a button, it's the connection point to actuate the on-board air jack system.

I believe that connection point, along with the rest of the system was removed from the car when it was converted for road use. Also, the taillights and turn indicators seen on the rear car are no longer those flat flush-fitting discs as seen in this photo. They've been replaced with the standard units from the F1 road car now.

What does livery mean anyway just race car or what. My fave is the locite but a different model you could say . A little more street oriented!!

The definition of the word 'livery' commonly refers to a uniform or a particular style of dress. In relation to a race car, 'livery' refers to the paint scheme and location of sponsorship decals. Generally cars on the same team will wear the same livery to show their association, with only slight differences to help spotters identify each car separately.

jcsaleen: do you have that huge picture in your sig? if you're interested in showing people a picture of a skyline, post it in the nissan forums (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...play.php?f=212), and not in every single post you do in the mclaren forums.

I'm talking about the officials from timing/scoring, the people from the pit crew stationed on the pitwall with the lap timers, and of course the fans. Generally the differences will consist of unique colored mirrors, or in the case of the F1s like the Gulf Team, they would wear different colored stripes in the corners of the windshield banners.

...and yeah, the sig photo really needs to go. Mine is at least McLaren-related, and I still turn it off most of the time using the "Show Signature" checkbox below the posting window.
