The DWing cannot be dismissed as rubbish or haled as successful until it has been thoroughly developed.
No one knows what the car could do if it wever got proper development. From what it showed at Le Mans it could have easily run with P2 had ACO allowed it, even though it had so few miles of testing on it. It did well at Petit later that year as well.
Since then it has had no budget and a complete and completely underfunded redesign, drastically altering its properties and as far as I know has never gotten the differential it was designed for.
Also, without Ben Bowlby on the case ... the person who knows it best can't help, so whoever does work on it ... isn't Ben Bowlby.
Sadly the Zeod never got a good shot either. The DWing might be a great design, or it might be crap. No way to tell yet.
