That is the beauty of my chart: you can use the chart to predict what performance you would expect from a Delta-shaped car running at different power:weight ratios. Below you can see what sort of lap time (based on the existing lap times), we should expect from a ZEOD with 120kg removed for the batteries... about LMP2 pace. interestingly the results, when looked at this way, show that the ZEOD
if running to the same power:weight ratio as the original Deltawing, would've been slower than the original Deltawing, suggesting that it is an inferior design....
