Flo aus N should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
@macchin: thanks, very interesting. By thinking about the design of the Delta-Cars, it becomes obvious, why they perform so poor. The weight distribution ist ridicolous (yes, it is "okay" regarding tire loads, downforce, tire sizes) but that comes with a big priece: They drivers have to adopt their drving style dramaticly. The have to break before the turn, let the car roll through the turn and can only accelerate at the end of the turns. The cornering speeds of this car are at a level of a GTE car and that is quite ridicoulus, concerning that the car hast a DRS and a ground effect floor. So in terms of suspension design, tire loads, tire usage and therefor cornering speeds (and that matters a lot in terms of lap times, even at le mans) the cars are rubbish...
