This little car generates so much anger!
I was fortunate to be a fan starting in the late 60's and got to see lots of funky ideas tried out, most of which didn't work. I loved the variety. Auto racing has become quite stagnant in the last few years and I've dropped out as a fan. LeMans will be 90% of my racing viewing this year and I haven't gone to a race in over two years (normally went to three a year). If racing got back to allowing out-of-the-box ideas like this rather than over-specifying everything, I would become a regular fan again.
Kudos to ACO for having a bit of vision, and the DW team for not giving up despite the torrent of negative reaction from traditionalist racing fans.
