Getting back to the subject at hand (Lister Hybrid) finally had a look a the images over at DSC(its back on line). The front "wing" is more a front suspension cover ala Bentley LMGTP. Wings are highly regulated, at least the traditional ones (official definition being something along the lines of two non parallal arcs that meet at a leading edge and close at a trailing edge--its in the rule book which isn't in front of me at the time). Of course the "traditional" wings are pretty efficient as opposed to dive planes (call them non-traditional if you will). Anyhow, it would appear that structure extending from the nose on the Lister to the front fender is meerly a cover similar to what Bentley did with the last LMGTP. Though similar in ideology only, from the rest of the images it appears once again Lister has a very unique and intersting prototype. Can't wait to see the whole thing.
