Totally agree. With the distinct lack of real competition among the LMP1 ranks this year I think DeltaWing is the perfect sideshow. And how great is it that a race like Le Mans can offer a platform for these ideas.
People get a little silly about its supposed plans for world domination, like it was an idea hatched by Dick Dastardly himself. And yet in some ways it's everything the die hard race fans have ever wanted. Ground effect, no wings, totally free of regulation. Add to that manual shift and a little fragility demanding a certain gentle touch from the drivers. Oh, and none of this strategy involved. It'll only have to change tires twice... I guess you have to be careful what you wish for ;-)
