How does the DeltaWing turn?

Earlier this week we received a video clip of the Nissan DeltaWing race car. See if you think it looks like a modernized Batmobile. The car is set to debut this weekend at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A lot of people want to see if it turns and just how far it’ll go.

The video is pretty interesting. I recommend it if you like racing, cars, technology or the pioneering spirit. The Nissan guys review development and get into how the DeltaWing corners at high speeds, even though it looks like it might crash. They also discuss major weight reduction and fuel consumption strategies.

My husband is a smart guy and he knows cars. He tells me the technology, and what happens this weekend, is important because it could revolutionize racing. If that happens, could it mean big changes for the industry and consumers? 

Here’s a link to the Autoweek blurb and video. Cheers to the team for all they've overcome and accomplished. We’ll be interested to see what happens. 



Note: Autoweek released several stories and videos related to the DeltaWing this week. All good stuff, you can even see their first laps at Le Mans.
