May not be BS!

That just means the Toyota has crappy visibility. Compared to the Deltawing, that thing is probably like driving with an eyepatch. I'm not buying the lower visibility excuse. F-1 & Indy cars are pretty narrow up front too. It's about awareness of all cars around you to make a pass...and the Toyota driver just didn't have it. If my car has a blind spot and I hit something because I didn't see it, it's still my fault.

FWIW The horrific crash last year involving Rockenfeller's Audi and the Waltrip Ferrari, while debatable, was partially caused by this same poor visibility issue. With all the tech in the prototypes I'm really surprised they don't have some type of "blind spot monitoring" system.

How about placing a HORN to warn other cars???LOL

Did I hear it right one of the commentator said the front of the Deltawing is just about a little more than 10lbs? It can be lifted by a single person?
They must really have a good aerodynamics for the the front to have such downforce to keep it from flying of the ground!
