It'll be a proper integral 'head rest'. It might have a clip in inner section?

As someone in the 'dump the wings' camp, this was one of its appeals to me from the beginning.

How about that? Running P2 times without a rear wing!

Not former, he still is. 3-time Super GT champion, one with Benoit Treluyer.
Super GT represent at Le Mans:

Treluyer

LOL From some angles the IndyCar rear fender pod thing is hideous.

The Deltawing isn't going to go down as one of the best looking cars that's for sure but imo it's not so much ugly as it is odd.

I think the new IndyCar is beautiful. Just goes to show that it is in the eye of the beholder.

Which might have already been said...

Went to Snetterton today to see this wonderfull creation performing. Took a bundle of pictures, which just will not download for you to see.

It needs no rear wing to stick to the ground as its all in the floorpan and suction which i got to see very close up and photograph as they had an oil union leak and had to hoist the whole car up and remove the floor.

This very clever design impressed me far more than i could have imagined and i,m chuffed to bits, along with the other few that went to Snetterton, that we have had such a very close insight into it construction and impressive handling. There is so much enthusiasm around this car and i am very gratefull to those mechanics, Ray Mallock, etc, who answered questions so willingly.

I,ll try once again to download some of these pictures which speak louder than my one finger typing.

Well, some success with two pictures of the undertray undergoing the clean-off of sprayed oil.

Will have to do two at a time, fingers crossed.

I'm a big fan of this new approach, but I will consider it a major miracle if they can get to the end of the 24H. Even if they avoid mechanical gremlins, which will be tough enough, they also have to avoid anybody slamming into them.

GT917: Any lap times?

Does anybody have any P2 times at Snetterton to compare it to?

I'm anxious to learn if it's on pace or not.

I'm pretty sure it's going to spend a lot of time in the garage but I think it could finish.

My prediction is that it will show so decent pace and be a NC finisher.

They're out of class, but they're going to be under the same rules of what you can and can't change during the race, right?

We can all huff and puff or be armchair pundits, but this car is proving to be light on tyres ,fuel, suspension, etc, etc and i reckon it will suprise us all.

At least it will be easily identified against all the other look-a-likes !!!!!!!!
