Of course, ideally something like the 918 RSR or even the Porsche GT3 hybrid that ran at Petit last year would be the 56th entry. That would combine technology, performance, endurance, and sensual appeal.

They won't be going toward the less frontal area philosophy, but lightweight and low power to the extreme IS where they are going, and recyclable composites are the future or both road and racing cars. The Delta Wing also allows manufacturers to go racing with road going engines. If they are anywhere near competitive, this revolutionizes racing, not only opening the door for more manufacturers, but with open source tech, it also opens the door for smaller teams. The other two concepts will remain for the most wealthy of teams.
