Very interesting. How does it turn with those thin front wheels so close together and 70% of the weight on the back wheels?!

I'm thinking it must brake the back wheels independantly.

You'll lose way to much energy, steering by brakes... Maybe sending more power to the outside back wheel assists the front wheels.

There will be plenty of weird new ***** in the new Xperimental class for 2012 in which this thing will obviously compete ... Nissan clearly also just slapped their name on the project after providing the engine for the original Project 56 DeltaWing concept (Nothing wrong with that though ... many manufacturers do the same)

Also have a lookout for this funny sounding but seriously quick hydrogen powered LMPH2 by GreenGT ...
