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

For LeMons, yes. Le Mans, no.

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.
