The Delta Wing was crashed out by a GTC Porsche at Road Atlanta.

It was rebuilt and finished top 5 overall in the Petit LeMans though.

Nice post Derby.  I was curious how the delta turned so well and that answered the question.  Cool concept.

I still don't get it, how does the front not oversteer with no weight, was it all aero's and downforce?

the way I understand it...yes...kind like what they said about motorbikes in a way..."steer with the rear", meaning you turn with the gas in a way....really neat and cool to see more done with less!

I had to close my eyes when he got to turn 2... broke my pelvis in three places there last June. Which reminds me, anyone want to buy a slightly used 848?

Not me....

Cool vid -- the driver's head was inches from the pavement during the start of the slide; and then he got a face full of turf and dirt  [cheeky]
