To me the Original Delta Wing was nothing special. it proved that you could build a race car with a smaller engine and lighter weight, and turn close to the same speed, that a car with a larger engine and heavier weight(defined by the regs) following a rigid set of rules could run. To me the far more impressive achievement was by Audi actually building a hybrid system that could run for 24 hours driven flat out.
- mehmehshoe 13y agoI agree totally. I guess the point I was trying to make is that the delta wing as a top speed breaking EV is a much better body shape for straight run events. If Drayson really wanted all out speed for the record, he would have designed a purpose built car and not just use a chassis he ran over here in ALMS. I have seen the skin off the delta wing and believe me, it is not a hi-tech gem, just a different philosophy.
