F1 set for first test of 2006
Nine teams in action at Jerez
Every team, except MF1 Racing and the hopeful Super Aguri camp, are set to test for the first time in 2006 at the Jerez track this week. MF1 Racing will test at Silverstone.
At Jerez, the initial four-day session will kick off on Tuesday, with Ferrari, Renault, Toyota and Red Bull in action. They are to be joined by Honda, McLaren, Williams, BMW Sauber and Scuderia Toro Rosso on Wednesday.
Of the nine teams, Renault, Toyota and Red Bull will all be working with 2006-spec cars.
Over the weekend, Michelin will conduct a wet weather test, ahead of another full week at Jerez de la Frontera, to again get going on Tuesday.
After that, the next major group test will be staged at another Spanish venue – Barcelona – from January 24th.

Hardcore McLaren fans will probably argue with that you can't really see the true colors by a picture and there are alot of other factors.
I got 1 thing to say about it:
Ugly .. yeah ! Funny .. yeah !

Today is a good day! World Champions Renault will test their 2006 contender R26 at Jerez. As reigning champions everyone's probably excited about what the french jewel can deliver.

LOL@killahead.
Well, that McLaren car is a interim car they will use until the MP21 can hit the track. Some F1 sites claim it's a winterbreak color McLaren uses and some sites also say that McLaren will go back to the orange color they used in the '98 season.
I do understand you dislike it though.
Here is a MP-13 sample:

Do you why they called McLaren the "Sylver arrows" (McLaren Mercedez) ?
Lol i just herd that this week on a TV show. The original car was white. They made a race car from aluminium, and they were ready for the race weekend. The official said the car was 1 pound too heavy. They didnt knew what to do. They were going to wrap up, but a (driver if i remember good) suggest to polish the car, to eliminate on the surface a little aluminium to make it lighter. Its what they did, they poslish it, and tha car was now all undercover of pain, showing the aluminium. The name Sylver Arrows came from that event. Funny.
