The thing about this so-called "race" is the design engineer is
factored out of the equation. Individual cars have the HP and car weight
adjusted to make the performance equal. Unlike Formula 1 where good
engineering design counts.

Not really a car race at all. They should just let all the drivers
run around the track using just their legs for 24 hours and see who wins :)

Mazda has entered their silly carcinogenic diesel in this race and
within an hour
one is having problems.

Another silly car entered is the so called delta wing with a billet
block Mazda
Miata engine.  The "engineer" that designed this car does not understand
weight
transfer in a corner. In the first hour it spun out once.

I thought the Delta Wing had an affiliation with Nissan. Trikes do not
have exceptional stability.

Last year.

Nissan/Renault wised up :) This year it is a Mazda Miata based engine
but the block is NC machined from a billet.

As of right now the Delta is 16 laps down and last in class.
There is a difference between handling and cornering speed.
