It's been a while since I posted one of my Deltawing vs the rest comparisons, but thought I would do it now the Coupe has a couple of races under its belt; you know, give it a chance:-
The Power to weight of the Deltawing Coupe is calculated from the figures posted in the latest Racecar Engineering, modified for low fuel; RCE says total weight with driver and fuel is 590kg. The total fuel is 40 litres, so if we say it runs with just 10 litres in qualifying, then 30 litres less cuts about 23kg from the weight, i.e. about 567kg, and the quoted 350bhp.
Now, I know I've never been a big fan of the Deltawing, but even so, I didn't think it would be this bad... 40% more power to weight than an LMPC, and still lapping slower... Its not really a new car these days, so I don't accept that excuse anymore....is it simply the tyres?
