Highcroft & Dan Gurney to campaign phallic-shaped 1.6L 300hp affront to prototype design. http://auto-racing.speedtv.com/article/le-mans-deltawing-to-build-lmp1-car-for-2012-24-hour-race/ The horror...the horror...
I certainly like diversity in motor racing, but I have yet to be convinced of the benefits of the Delta Wing design. Such a narrow from track doesn't appeal to me and it seems to go against the widely accepted principles that a larger footprint makes a car more stable at least. Wait and see...
I'm proud to have been involved in a small way in this project from its early stages. Just wait and see it will work.
Agreed. Theoretically, it should be very fast in a straight line. But methinks high speed corners will be met with numerous barrel rolls.
We though about entering P 4/5 C in this class with a 3.0 Turbo diesel but deceided it was more than we wanted to undertake. They are interested in alternate technology especially fuel efficiency.
+1 - there's another thread on this (merge?) - but I agree. Looks like a LSR or Top Fuel car. I also said that if Dan Gurney's selling, I'm buying. I love the guy and I want to see him more involved in racing, if possible.
