gttouring should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
What's the big deal keeping secrets. Just to have more press releases? Built it and go test

Sorry, maybe that is cheap shots at them, I have not kept up with this thing at all, so do not know what parts are locally made.
Oops, I forgot about the big parts! I just had the recent press releases in mind talking about other components as F50GTPlus mentioned.

I guess maybe they are trying to build some buzz. I would try to wait to announce an engine deal until the car is ready to do a roll out. i think it would look better to have video of the car moving when talking about an engine deal.

An update http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/ra...r-takes-shape/
I still can't help but think, that this thing must have something going for it, with all that talent behind it. We shall see.

Looking forward to seeing it turn a wheel... Which in this case I think means something slightly different to normal.

On mulsannes corner facebook page there is some lively discussion, mike has discussed this a bit and it looks like it may perform as intended- certainly a sub 4 minute lap. Who know what they actuallyexpect in face if competition..

Are they going to use an off-the-shelf WRC engine, can't see the point in going for anything else, developing an engine is the last thing they need with the challenges they face.

If it is a WRC engine we only have 3 options:

BMW engine (Mini Prodrive WRC)

Ford Engine

Citroen Engine.

Assuming that this Deltawing is an American project i assume the Ford engine option is the one, but thath is just my opinion

Well, the current WRC cars are S2000 (1.6t engine) with some removable add-ons. Also, the same engines (or very similar ones) could be used in S2000 touring cars. So what about Chevrolet's WTCC power plant?

Don´t see that coming, nice catch

Your right, a general Motors engine will be very appropriated to their goal.

The Delta Wing wins an award already ......http://www.highcroftracing.com/news/...rns-award.html
It may be the only award it wins, and by the way, I'm happy for them, it's just that I think that you win something for achievement, and it's a bit early for that yet.

Bet Highcroft are feeling stupid having soured their relationship with HPD to see other teams snapping the ARX-03a whilst they dumped the majority of their staff and have a 56th entry in Le Mans...

Being reported on Twitter from Fogelhund that the Europress says the Wing will use a 1.6 Chevy turbo with Flybrid.

I'm pretty sure Highcroft would run an HPD right now if the money were there to do it. It's not.

Flybrid system is news. Chevy S2000 was the logical choice. One step closer for the DeltaWing boys with this confirmation.

Misunderstanding starting from the ACO website unfortunately. The Deltawing, the Flybrid CFT and the WTCC 1.6 l engine in the Cruze all got awards from Race Tech, but the only link between them is that they all got awards on the same evening. Someone at LeMans.org jumped to conclusions.

Compare http://deltawingracing.com/2012/01/b...amicist-award/ to http://www.lemans.org/en/news/A_crop...Wing_6025.html. Not the first time someone in the ACO's press department would jump the gun on speculation starting from something very spurious...

Ooops I still think the Cruze engine is a possibility, but the flybrid system may have been too good to be true, since it adds weight and the DW is about shedding weight.

100% agree with you they are absolutely horrendous to be honest. As someone who does a similar job in another sport I know I wouldn't last long if I was making these kinds of errors.

Don't know if this has been posted here already but this the first I am seeing of the Delta Wing's tires:
