The hidious Delta Wing car is to be the 56th invitation car at next years 24hrs. It will built by a Dan Gurneys All American Racer group and run by Highcroft.
Your thoughts?

But how will it cope with the Mulsanne? Those ruts created by the Trucks are going to be nasty with such a narrow front track. Hats off to the ACO for allowing it in. Still pig ugly though.

Looks like they've downsized Craig Breedloves' Spirit of America.
Be interesting to see how this gets on, especially through the twistier sections/chicanes

I guess they're going to shove this turkey down our throat's one way or another. This originally was one of the contestants for the next generation Indycar. The powers that be at Indycar wisely shot it down, so it looks like theyve added another seat, and headlights, and are now going to call it a sporstcar. Good fricking grief! I get that they've probably spent alot of money promoting this device, but lets see the damn thing actually run and turn a competitive lap time, instead of just showing us mock-ups.
Put the f**k*ng thing on the track! Show us what it will do, instead of telling us what your calculations say it will do.

That will not make the race 'cos it will crash in qualifing. Front end of a bike can be twitchy on the Mulsanne due to it being a pubic road, that at 200 + mph?  |

Jeez is this for real?
Why would AAR and Highcroft get mixed up with this. Surley these teams could come up with something more creditability.

Originally this device was one of the proposal's for the next generation of Indycar, which was ultimately awarded to Dallara. It looks like they've added another seat, tacked on some headlights and presto! Now its a sportscar!
They keep showing us all these computations, and computer generated simulations, but as far as I know they've yet to actually construct a car, and attempt to turn real laps somewhere. This all smacks of a company desperately trying to drum up some publicity, but I suspect if they ever do actually build something it will end up being alot more conventional looking. Like I said, publicity stunt...
