That was a great little video, really atmospheric. The chrome/purple Ferrari looks absolutely superb, its just ashame that the Deltawing was involved in another incident that resulted in retirement. I would love to get over to see this event, sportscar racing is just brilliant!

The Deltawing DID NOT RETIRE! It finished P6 and was later moved up to P5 when a car that finished in front was disqualified.

The DeltaWing was in a crash on Wednesday and was rebuilt overnight.

It ran for the full 10 hours in the race without a hitch. Missing a couple of safety car 'wave throughs' lost the Delta Wing a few laps. It could well have won!

Balls! That's exactly what happens when you didn't watch the race and just see a few videos, I hand my membership back in! Sorry!

ETA: In fact what am I actually on about? I read the other day about it finishing in a strong position and was pleased about it because I am a fan of the car and the concept behind it. Stupid boy!

Does anyone know what that song is? It's awesome!
It actually has the song details under the video on the linky page, discovered this after I Shazam'd it and it came back "Young Men Dead" by The Black Angels

I was at the race (5th time since 2002) and here are my pics from the race.
