Before you get into the DeltaWing, www.AmericanCarsAmericanGirls.com (http://www.AmericanCarsAmericanGirls.com) does have Run Thru The Hills 7 Part 2 up and ready to view. Great AmericanCars, Cute AmericanGirls.
It looks like a Bonnivlle Salt Flat car to me but it could be the road racing car of the future. We'll get to see soon because it's racing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans June 16-17. The players in the DeltaWing are: project designer Ben Bowlby, Dan Gurnery's All-American Racers, Highcroft Racing and deep pockets Michelin Tires. The car started out on a clean sheet of paper with a priority to maximize efficiency. After reams of info here's the key to how the car works in one sentence: Because the DeltaWing has its center of gravity and it's primary aerodynamics down-force aft, between the rear wheels, the front wheels do not need be large to maintain the same per-square inch tire loading. How the the 1,050 lb, 300 hp DeltaWing does up against a top of the line 1,985 lb, 540 hp Le Mans LMP car will be very interesting.

The DeltaWing does have two wheels in the front and will be powered by a 4 cylinder,1.6 liter turbocharged engine. The maker of the engine has not been released but you bet the farm that it will have Michelin Tires.
