Le Mans is the perfect platform for new and innovative machines. It's IndyCar's loss, the are a dying series and this car could have actually generated some interest.
I'll bet Colin Chapman got some flack over introducing a rear engined car. Everyone hated the Brabham Fan Car, and I'll bet the Tyrrell P34 got some funny looks as well. No one had the internet to moan about them back then though.
At least the ACO isn't going down the F1 route of stifling anything new.
