Was just reading about that car in a mag recently. Gonna be interesting to see it on the track!

I love this prototype technology, Audi diesels etc. Right outside the box.

Another team at Le Mans that my friend works for

They've moved to LMP1 Class now which means they aint gonna have a chance against the diesel Audis.

So spare a though for them if your watching biggrin.gif

Yes but that only had the one wheel at the front the nearest thing to the 'Deltawing' is Greenwoods Mini albeit with the twin wheels at the back, innovation was at its height in the late 60's and early 70's before the rule makers got in on the act.

Must be weird to get used to for a racing drive though as they're usually aim to hit the apex with the front wheels, but the rear wheels are a couple of feet wider.

It's not affected by dirty air when drafting so it can sit ridiculously close to the car ahead but Mario Franchitti reckons it makes for interesting over taking.....
