Description: DeltaWing, the American racing car managed by the Project 56 group, was allocated pit box no. 56 for the forthcoming 24 hours of Le Mans race. The team has yet to confirm its participation in the race...Add Comments6
Cho DanFeb 07, 2012 No it's not supposed to turn, LeMan's officials are currently in the process of straightening the race track. The new design will be straight as an arrow for over 2700 miles. Note the sarcasm.
Kevin RehbockFeb 07, 2012 I thought it was supposedly the next Indy Car design.
Cho DanFeb 07, 2012 The reason this was tagged F1 is because Deltawing designed this car as a prototype F1 car as a proposed replacement for the current F1 car.
KeX LimFeb 07, 2012 @Dan. If you know anything about racing, you'll know that F1 and Le Mans are very different types of racing. Anyway, CarBuzz does have a Le Mans tag. So there's no reason to tag this as F1.
Zach SullivanFeb 08, 2012 I don't see this car having a high cornering speed
Shane GardnerFeb 08, 2012 It's not supposed to be pretty. It's supposed to be revolutionizing.
Pratik ParijaFeb 07, 2012 Ugly front. Could have made it like a F1 car but like Caparo T1or the Red Bull X2011/2012
Victor TakhanovFeb 07, 2012 There are headlights in the back?
Kevin RehbockFeb 07, 2012 Because of the way it's designed, the center of gravity is more rearward between the wheels. The front tires are only having to manage a very small percentage of the mass of the car and very little rolling resistance and drag, in turn they have a large leverage on the center of gravity. High speed cornering should be a piece of cake. Tight low speed cornering should be a concern.
Max MüllerFeb 07, 2012 1.ugly, 2.how do you want to steer??????
Igor NatsioksFeb 07, 2012 It's actually 27.5% if you count
Michael PageFeb 07, 2012 With less than 18% of weight on the front tires and them so close together, I wonder how well it can turn at high speeds

Francois JoannetteFeb 07, 2012 @cian that's why you have pitstop... Genius!!
Cian RulesFeb 07, 2012 What a smart idea to enter a 24 hour race with a 40 liter fuel tank

Pratik ParijaFeb 07, 2012 Computer simulation design has yet to prove reliable compared to tradition wind tunnel simulation.
Ben ArendsFeb 07, 2012 Interesting that the side profile and front profile view makes it look semi-normal. But any other viewpoint you can see the differences. I wonder if this means the profile retains physics/function,but allows for less surface area & weight.

It has nothing to do with F1!
Why is this even tagged as F1? It has n
