    I mean *there would be heck to pay* if it were to beat the Audi's!

    Should've let it run at it's potential.....

    It was never designed to beat the Audi's.

    Still impressive that it was right in the middle of the LMP2 prototype field but with only a 1.6 liter engine. 3:42 is a very good time! The LMP2 cars can run up to a 5 liter atmospheric V8 or a 3.2 liter V6 turbo, twice the capacity of the Deltawing's engine.

    F1 is good for other stuff, too

    Trivia I came across:
    "It was also a good weekend for Ferrari’s F1 rivals Williams, whose Hybrid Power division saw their technology help the Audi R18 e-tron Quattro piloted by Andre Lotterer, Benoit Treluyer and Marcel Fassler make history by becoming the first hybrid-powered vehicle to take outright victory at Le Mans."

    I didn't say this.
    But some have theorized that had the car been allowed to reach its potential (rather than being de-tuned by the sanctioning body), it would have easily beat the Audis....
