While since the car was around since 2013, it is only normal to have sentiments about it. And it also shows that fans are not only concerned about drivers but the cars used in the series.
But unfortunately, it is now time to let go of the Gen 6 and welcome Next Gen car. With time, there will be a lot of memories to cherish with the new generation cars and some exciting racing is on the way soon.
