I guess, but if you can't find it's on Youtube (not officially of course): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFwoxM1MiBw

The shortened-for-Speed version has finally appeared at RFM, but I'd skip it because the download counter at truth-in-24.com has now moved back to next Monday: http://truth-in-24.com/film

Is anyone else a little confused at the amount of people suddenly saying the DeltaWing is doing well? The original LMP concept was to take on the LMP1 cars but it's only setting LMP2 times. They said that halving the weight would make up for the lack of power and downforce, but it really hasn't.

But now suddenly because it hasn't been a complete failure, and is managing LMP2 times, people are saying it's a good concept and it works really well. But what does it work well at? It's not a new concept and it hasn't proven anything. Everybody knows that less weight and less drag is better, and we don't need silly shaped cars to tell us that. So what problem is this car solving?

It's stupidly ugly, it's relatively slow, it isn't cheap, it tells us what we already know, and it manages to do all of this whilst completely ignoring the technical regulations.

Gave ACO the biggest bribe obviously.

The other two cars vying for that slot were much more deserving of it.

I found a HD copy on youtube afterwards. Is the full version the 90 minutes long?

tbh I'm surprised it is even doing LMP2 times. That is even impressive for such a brain wasteland project.
