Title: Re: Delta Wing Post by: DanTheMan on November 03, 2012, 12:11:01 AM I still don't get it, how does the front not oversteer with no weight, was it all aero's and downforce?
Title: Re: Delta Wing Post by: zooom on November 03, 2012, 04:37:37 AM I still don't get it, how does the front not oversteer with no weight, was it all aero's and downforce? the way I understand it...yes...kind like what they said about motorbikes in a way..."steer with the rear", meaning you turn with the gas in a way....really neat and cool to see more done with less! Title: Re: Delta Wing Post by: tufty on November 03, 2012, 09:55:55 AM I had to close my eyes when he got to turn 2... broke my pelvis in three places there last June. Which reminds me, anyone want to buy a slightly used 848?

Cool vid -- the driver's head was inches from the pavement during the start of the slide; and then he got a face full of turf and dirt [cheeky] Title: Re: Delta Wing Post by: Triple J on November 04, 2012, 12:55:12 PM Cool video! [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Delta Wing Post by: Goat_Herder on November 07, 2012, 05:15:24 PM wow, the Delta Wing was moving like a mad man before the Porsche crashed it out. THat thing really does defy the conventional wisdom. [thumbsup]
