Sweet jesus I need to go le mans very soon.

Smart move really. Im going to hazard a guess that the coverage/PR return for LeMans is 10x that of the other WEC rounds, so theres no point trying to make do with a car that's not ready, trundling around the back at those rounds. Look at McLaren Honda to see the poor PR that brings..

Even so, coming 6th at LeMans with a car that looks like that will bring more coverage than a Toyota/Strakka coming 4th, look at the buzz surrounding the deltawing. (that wasnt even racing anyone!)
