so close. With AWD they might have had the speed they needed. With FWD only there was no hope.

At least one of them finished the race I guess. If they had only figured out a hybrid system.

I watched the LeMans special on Amazon and I was just amazed at the investment they made in such a terrible car, and those poor kids driving them.

I remember them taking 3 slots of a fixed 60 cars grid for being slower than LMP2's and less reliable than Mclaren-Honda’s. I hope it’ll stay in history as to why you don’t bring an half-assed car to Le Mans without making it a single-enrty garage 56 deal.

If the weather had stayed foul they could have done it. Alas it wasn’t meant to be. I still think the Delta car was a good idea. I’m still holding out for the road version.

I love wacky alternative solutions so was gutted they gave up on it so soon.

Heck with Porsche and Audi bailing they might actually have got a return on investment now.
