26th-Z Posted March 18, 2013 Share #75 Posted March 18, 2013 Just returned from my Sebring jaunt to see the DeltaWing. And I appologize - the DeltaWing is racing in P1, not P2 as I previously thought. I was impressed - generally. The car is small. Much smaller than any of the rest of the P1 or P2, for that matter, counterparts. But this is pretty much the end of relevance to our discussion. It no longer sports a Nissan engine, the original team is gone. The car is now being prepared in the Panoz facilities in Georgia and it is powered by an Elan engine: 1.9 liters, turbo charged and rated at 345hp. As you probably know by now, the engine blew up about one hour into the race, right in front of me. A gentle breeze was blowing our way and the smoke blew right into us. The car looked good in Thursday night practice. Very fast and right up there with the rest of the P1 group. It did not qualify well at all on Friday and seemed off song. Shades of things to come perhaps. I hear it will be at Mazda Raceway in May. deltawing - Home Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/42695-new-nissan-to-race-lemans/?page=7#findComment-418164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedyone_kenobi Posted March 18, 2013 Share #76 Posted March 18, 2013 Well you can hardly blame the Deltawing guys for a blown motor shoehorned in at the last second. Still racing in P1 is no small task.I bet in person it looked like somthing from Battlestar Galactica runnign around the track. Reminds me of a Colonial Viper.
