rFactor2: More Corvette C6R Shots & Grand Prix Car

It's Christmas Day in many countries all around the world and ISI was kind enough to give not one but two presents to the community. First of all there are some new screenshots of the Corvette C6R, which has been welcomed as a worthy addition by the community a few days ago, and there's also a Christmas greeting banner showing a Pirelli tyre with yellow stripes.

Screenshot analytics, let's get crackin'! What Grand Prix Car or Formula class could it be? Let's start searching for any Formula class which in 2012 used Pirelli tyres and used those exact rims (manufacturer is BBS possibly?)

here is another shot from before, I remembered they put it out and just take a careful look at the steering wheel http://racesimcentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/rfactor2-Marussia-F1-car.jpg . Now look again at this http://www.uk2.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/Marussia-F1-Steering-Wheel.jpg which is the real Marussia wheel, seems familliar?

It is indeed the Marussia wheel, Kacper, but the rims of the 2012 Marussia car aren't black.. The rims of the Pirelli F1 Test car are indeed black. Maybe the Pirelli F1 Test car uses a Marussia steering wheel? Looks like we're on a trail (if we didn't figure it out already!)

The Pirelli test car's steering wheel looks like this: http://wtf1.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Eyeline.png

My guess is ISI have signed a deal with Pirelli to supply data for their tyre model?
