I can't really disagree with what's been said. This is a class for new technology, but the DW doesn't have any new technology, it doesn't even have a new concept. It's proven that lighter weight and less drag means fast lap times and better fuel efficiency. Didn't they work that out some 50 years ago?

So it's taking an old concept and working completely outside the rule book, and is posting laps at the tail end of the LMP2 class? I can't say I'm that impressed, honestly. And now a massive deal is being out of it because Nissan turned up late to the party, slap some stickers on it and say "look how mad we are!". Is it still running an old RML Chevy IL4, or has it gotten a real Nissan unit yet?
