Build an LMP2 car to 475kg instead of 900kg, and see how much faster it would be than that atrocity.
First off they tried that if you remember - LMP475. The only thing they were quick at was retiring from the race!Also the DeltaWing runs a 1.6 turbo engine - do you think an LMP475 would be much faster if it also halved the size of it's turbo engine...?
The DeltaWing is fine in the wet - vehicle dynamics, however unusual their application, don't suddenly stop applying when the heavens open! It did 2 days running in the pouring rain at Snetterton and was still setting decent times. Several of the project heads mentioned that they'd had invitations from promoters of other races so hopefully it will turn up again soon, maybe at Petit Le Mans.
