RE: Deltawing sent flying

[SlipStream77]

Video from the Porsche clearly shows the driver correcting a slide.

Sorry to bump this thread up, but was it the instability of the Nissan or the instability of the Porsche that caused this crash?

I know, but I'm just surprised about some of the comments about the stability of the Deltawing, when it was actually a slow, over-weight lard-arse of a car that can't cope with a kerb that actually sparked the shunt in the first place.

^^Looked purely like a case of the delta wing driver not giving enough room for how wide his car is at the rear to be honest when you look at the onboards.
Yes, the Porsche slid on the kerb, but he didn't move far....

Load of carp. Porsche simply didn't see the much faster Deltawing until too late. Case closed.

You can't see the Porsche correcting a slide? Watch the video again.
