Take a 300hp caterham and see if it can break 5minutes at lemans.

We'll not be seeing a car resembeling a lawn dart this time next year, I wager.
DeltaWing on there website state a Cd of 0.24. For what it is worth wiki has a .7 Cd for Caterham. Also based on Mikes work current closed top LMP1s have a Cd of some were in the low to mid 0.4s for Le Mans.
