Its a bad day for the Japanese teams in Lemns the Euro cars are still a tough wall to climb!
But in time with Asian market booming we will see great innovative super cars coming this way. Big Euro players partnering with Japanese automakers just to survive. Nissan partnered with Mercedes Benz |

The Delta Wing car really isn't even a Nissan. It was developed by California company and Nissan only entered as sponsor earlier this year. Would love to see Nissan enter GT car though! Renualt, the 36% owner of Nissan actually started alliance with Mercedes. Actually Nissan was in trouble and was rescued by European manufacturers. Not other way around lol! Mercedes, Audi, VW, Porsche are all very healthy in Asia as well.

Not sure if the Delta Wing will be back next year. There is only one "Garage 56" slot for experimental cars, and this is the one that has it for 2013:
Hydrogen-electric racer set for Le Mans - BBC Top Gear

Here's a photo of the Delta Wing I took at the Ganassi shop this winter. I think that this was the first one.
For maybe 5 or 6 years, there was this guy I'd see at the kart track. We'd talk / chat occasionally. He was wrenching for his son. One of those relationships where you just know his first name - Ben. So then on the day of the Delta Wing unveiling I'm watching the video and see the guy from the track standing there - the guy I just know as Ben. It was Ben Bowlby - the Delta Wing Designer...

I think though they are going to have to bring more to the table though. Maybe some new hybrid/electric setup with the KERS system.
