So I got looking into what the deal is with it, and it’s actually GENIUS. But it failed epically, let me explain. Everything about this thing is weird - front tyres narrower than the ones on your car, no wings and one of the strangest shapes you’ve seen on a racetrack. The main idea for this thing, was to make a car go as fast as an Indycar - but with half the power, half the drag, half the weight and half the fuel consumption. Bold ambitions. And it got bolder, they were aiming to race this against Indycars, but also against the INCREDIBLY FAST LMP1 cars at the time. So they thought outside the box and chose a delta wing shape. It’s actually nabbed from Concorde, and it’s surprisingly simple. Let me explain. Jet planes like the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Concorde use a Delta Wing - essentially the triangular wing that is similar in shape to the greek letter Delta. ➤Follow Driver61 on: ➤ Instagram- @official_driver61 - ➤TikTok - @official_driver61 - ➤ Follow Scott on: ➤ Twitter - ➤ Instagram - @official_driver61 - #DeltaWing #LeMans #Racing
