That is not a good-looking car. The greenhouse makes DPs look elegant and well-proportioned.

Some more interesting nuggets of info there. Is the new engine they are hoping to debut at VIR the carbon fiber unit? Interesting to hear the current weight is 525 kg. Also, Price says they will run the car next season in uscc even if they sell other chassis. The continental tires will be tested starting after Petit, which will be a big part of the P class balance for the DW next season.

No, just a revised MRZ unit. I believe they get two additional tests of the Continental tires because they are like nothing they have done in the past.

So they have a revised MZR that they think well be 9kg lighter?

There seems to be a little difference of opinion between the DW and Nissan about the driver seating position... center or right. Have the FIA/ACO regs been finalized about that yet?

I guess ALMS/USCR rules allow some freedom. Dave Price said somewhere that DW is using central position for added driver protection/optimum vision and that to change it to FIA compliant offset position was quite easy to do.

First you need to define what a sportscar is. If it is a vehicle with 2 seats and 4 wheels than the Deltawing is as much a sportscar as most other prototypes whose ability to seat 2 normal people is questionable. Perhaps for 2 seater we should read " squeeze 2 slim hipped individuals into driving compartment".

According to this it can be set up with offset seating if required to comply with 2014 regulations.

Originally it was, then it took on a LMP2 two seater spec when it raced at Le Mans.
