On a faster, note ... I don't have much hope for the DWing. Just needing specialized wheels and tires makes it hard to find a home, and since its big advantage is efficiency it pretty much needs an endurance format to succeed. No great savings in a sprint format, and doesn't fit any current endurance class, plus Michelin has to make one-off tires ...

it was a great idea and great attempt but until it can be melded into an existing endurance class, it will sit in a warehouse somewhere.
Not surprising recovery is slow with the amount of money he continues to borrow, but I digress.

I don't think we've seen the last of the D-Wing. If there's a protracted hiatus between now and Le Mans next year so be it. However, if they can race at Sebring next year that would excellent.
