The first thing I thought of when I saw it was the Batmobile. It will be interesting to see how it does at LeMans, I saw that the ACO is expecting the lap times to be around 3:40.

thank god these things won't be on an Indy Car track.

That car hit every branch and scraped along the bark when it tumbled out of the ugly tree.

 

[Escape Goat]

That is one ugly piece of crap.

What is the purpose of the car? Are they trying to get this car into a series or just for the heck of it?

Innovation. That thing that I had thought went away from motorsport with the banning of tobacco companies.

wth? Freakish is all I can say

the front width seems too narrow for stable turning. seems like it would understeer like crazy or want to lift the inside rear off the ground.

I really wish people would actually go to their site and read what they're doing instead of just going "How can it possibly turn?! It doesn't look like any racecar I've seen."


Cliffs: rear wheel steer, weight at the back, narrow, small tires=less resistance. It really isn't as difficult a concept as people are trying to make it out to be. Which is the beauty of it. (no homo)
