Dayglo Orange, Pepsi, and Nintendo. Keniss had a rather interesting livery in the first half of the '90s. It was also a return to form for the American outfit, as the 1995 variation of the T17 began a streak of winning seasons that lasts to present day. The T17, while not the fastest, was by a long margin the most reliable car the entire season. It showed the sport of F1 that Keniss couldn't be killed, even when the team was hemorrhaging money to secure Nintendo sponsorship (We shall not discuss that fustercluck.) The car also featured a controversial front wing, which used a pair of pseudo venturi tunnels to create a high pressure area on parts of the wing, allowing for the air to exit at a high grade angle at nearly double the velocity of other parts of the wing, and push the nose of the car down. With almost as much force as the bare wing would produce. This innovative trick was deemed legal by the FIA, before being banned at the end of the 1996 season.

All other switches and buttons on wheel are simply cosmetic, and are there only for realism (I hate doing the damn cockpits on these things)
