geeteeone should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I'm not convinced it ever would have worked to the level it needed to in order to beat Porsche, Audi and Toyota.

I can understand putting the engine in the front, as Panoz made that work well and it was practically mid-engined anyway. But putting 550hp from the ICE through the front wheels can't ever end well. Hello, torque steer! The whole drivetrain was basically backwards compared to conventional wisdom.

With the DeltaWing you could see what they were trying to achieve, but with the GTR-LM it just seemed to be different for the sake of being different.
