I like the DW more than the 918 RSR

**Aysedasi** · 5 Oct 2011, 09:16 (Ref:2966006)

Not me. I'm not the greatest porker fan, but at least it looks like a car, not a Buck Rogers toy just unwrapped from under the Xmas tree.....

Whoah, atleast the DW is not a hyrbrid

MitchZ06 · 5 Oct 2011, 09:31 (Ref:2966011)

I prefer V8 powered hybrids over 4banger phalluses....

Im damn sure I dont like it !!!

I cant see how it will stay in a straight line . Rear wheels in a groove from traffic and front on the crest . Cant see how it will go around corners and cant see how its safe in a high speed t-bone .

Maybe if they make the front wheel just one unit , outta steel it will be like a road roller and flatten out the crest !!!

Hypothetical question: What happens to the 56th spot if the DW doesn't make it, and the Courage and GreenGT also aren't ready. Will the spot go to the 918 (if they want it) or an additional "real" entry? There seems to be a long list of teams wanting entries next season, so I'm sure the spot could be utilized.

If the DeltaWing doesn't make it and neither of the other two project make it either, I'd suspect that, when the last of them drops out, the first car on the regular reserve list gets into the big show.

My guess too.......

Simmi · 18 Nov 2011, 18:26 (Ref:2988373)

It's still not really sunk in for me that this car will race next year. I just can't visualise it pulling out of that garage and driving up the hill to the Dunlop Chicane.

I'm one of a select few who are looking forward to it.

I'm relatively indifferent to it, personally, I'd rather see it in action first before making up my mind about it. But you mate... prepare to be burned alive for that comment by everyone else.

Haha I think our American friends have found something new to be annoyed about now.

**Aysedasi** · 18 Nov 2011, 18:55 (Ref:2988395)

I want to see it - for the novelty value - but that's about as far as it goes....

In the case of a withdrawal, plenty of other competitors are ready to take the place no noise and no pollution guaranted :http://www.24heuresvelo.fr/clients/v...m/dsc_0335.jpg

I don't know why you use such terminology as "pulling out" when referencing the DW. Are you suggesting that it will have endurance problems? Oh my!

Freud would have trouble believing that you can't imagine what the DW would be like at the Dunlop Chicane. Well, at least the Dunlop Bridge. Here's some images (well, ones that won't get me banned at least!) that might inspire the imagery you're looking for.

The Delta Wing Pulling into the pits:

The Delta Wing Having an Off at Maison Blanche:

The DeltaWing heads for the Dunlop Bridge:

It uses an LMP1 tub which is larger than a single seaters, when you look closer at the car it's not as small as some imagine.
