Delta Flip

The Nissan DeltaWing came together with the Green Hornet Racing GT-C Porsche and flipped.

Low black cars are hard to see. Tricycles flip, it's a fact. Also I get the impression the Delta Wing does not have the best possible head protection.

Spirit of Le Mans

As you know drivers cannot get outside assistance while on track at Le Mans and when the Nissan Highcroft Delta Wing broke down, driver Satoshi Motoyama tried desperately to get the car running again but to no avail.

Earlier in the race, after a crash of his own making, Romain Dumas turned into the incredible Hulk and single hangedly tore the whole front end off his Audi R18 in order to make it back to the pits where team Audi managed to get the car running again

Delta missing something....

This global Delta Wing PR blitz got me thinking, if you are going to have a three wheeled thing (I know, the Delta has four but it looks like three), it's so much more awesome with a passenger hanging in off the side of the thing.

That naturally lead me to think Tourist Trophy and I believe you will enjoy the awesomeness of the sidecar bits in this clip as much as I did. Of course there is much more than just that to enjoy. Someone please bring this to an iMax theater near us soon, how can TT in 3D not be a success?

UPDATE: Sorry, original clip got pulled from YouTube, try this one, Sidecars are in the second half
