The stuff of legends

awesome bit of kit

was watching this intently at le mans,


untill some one punted it off,

The furstration and emotion of the driver as he tried and failed to fix it at

the trackside was literally heartbraking

Why is it not allowed to race?

I'd imagine the design, maybe it hasn't had sufficient testing yet?. It makes you wonder whether other marques or even F1 are looking on.

With all the crap going on that has made me proud to be British.

was outside the regs so was allowed to run, but wasnt in contention.

Can one up front really be better than two

2 wheels at the front bud.

iirc they said the handling was totaly different, much more point and squirt

SirFozzalot

Very cool.

dpb

Ah right, but it still got punted off, I'm presuming cos the front end is relatively narrow and has less grip

SirFozzalot

Watch the video, it explains all about the handling.

No it was driver error from another car that didnt need to pass!!! if i recall

I don't believe that is the case.
The guy who designed it said that it seems counter-intuitive.Lots of things ,compared to a 'standard' car, are completely different & do not apply to this design.
i.e. forget what makes sense as the physics/design bear no resemblance to anything that has gone before.
