Future of Le Mans or Motorsports? This should be interesting. They will be in the 24 Hours of Le Mans this year. Not in any current class but in the class of its own.

Haha that's the first thing I thought too. Won't it roll over if you turn at high speeds?

I thought that too.
But I think it has a long enough wheelbase and wide enough rear that it won't roll over.

It's interesting, but...delta "wings" belong on jets, not cars

It's low enough to not flip while turning but can it turn with those front wheels so close together?
