More importantly, did anyone else notice how the DeltaWing MANHANDLED that turn right before it got hit?

Seriously people. Look at Peter LeSaffre's (Porsche driver) driving record. Just 3 days after this, he again knocks another prototype, this time the race leading Muscle Milk car. He is a selfish driver and doesn't pay attention. Check out the ALMSOfficialVideos page for a Petit recap to see for yourselves

Porsche drivers are like rabbits - they can only look forward because they 'think' they are in 'a fast car'. FAIL !

I support your theory. You can see clearly that the porsche-driver is trying to correct on the close-up of the crash.

Especially, if'n he was of "legal age"...and had a buzz going. My son, I mean. I've already forgotten 'bout the car...which, I'll wager is just a casual oddity, and will NOT exist long. Good luck, mate! ;-)

He would still have an unmanaged spin into the wall.

I fancy that if that "Black-mariah" had a wider stance up front...this would NOT 'ave 'appened, what?  When my toddler raced his tri-cycle about, it was easy for me to knock 'en over..."child's play!" Now, in his wagon, it's somewhat difficult...and he's learned to speed away when I approach. (He'll make a good husband.)

What do you mean by manhandled?

[hashrulsubzero]

True, but the design kinda makes me annoying to look at it....

[MrSdgrider88]

You're wrong

[ipariszalonna]

Why shouldn't they allow it? There is nothing wrong with it. It's a perfectly fine racecar.

Many of them do have rear view mirrors. -Just sayin
