zeitgeist57 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 http://jalopnik.com/5952603/the-worlds-strangest-racecar-just-crashed-again I'm a big fan of this car. Sad to see it get into another wreck, but glad to hear the damage is repairable and it'll be racing again today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Was that really a woman driving a minivan or SUV while on the cell phone disguised as an ugly green Porsche that smacked it?......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Black is cool and all, but I think they need to paint it a brighter color. Other cars just aren't seeing it due to its low profile. I feel this car will become another interesting footnote in racing history, like the 6 wheel F1 cars, rather than the revolution that they are trying to make it out to be. BUt they have to make it more visible. A brighter coat of paint will help. Maybe DRLs on the rollover pylons above the driver would help. But as it stands now, I think the other drivers are just seeing a dark smudge in their mirrors that isn't shaped like a what they are used to and are disregarding it as they focus on all of the other stimulus bombarding them.

TTQ B4U Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 With his head that close to the ground it makes me wish there was a small camera on his visor to see what it was like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 This Delta Wing reminds me of the Chaparrals of old. Fast as hell, gimmicky, doomed for failure, but they will inevitably force everyone else to change the way they do things and move racing/auto tech forward. 2J anyone?

Drewhop Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I am by no means a expert but that looked like a intentional hit. Watched it a few more times. Maybe not. Looks like the Porche might have lost traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 I like how after his head was dragged across road and dirt his biggest concern was giving the other driver "the business" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 More than likely the Porsche lost traction on the rumble strips and pointed it over, came off the strips and gained traction. In the in car of the Deltawing at the last moment you can see the Porsche's front wheel counter left. Highly doubt it was intentional, it's not NASCAR.
