I never understood how the deltawing was a good design. I just figured there was a bunch of engineering that ill never understand. You would think a square/rectangular wheel base and track width would yield more stability.
That design seems ****ing stupid. what is the advantage to having a smaller front wheel base/less wheels? I know some of the obvious disadvantages, but I would think for people to try and push this design there must be some great performance advantage I'm missing...
i konw it has two fonrt wehles. but they are colse enugoh thgetoer to be cenidosr detla diesgn. its good for amyiardneoc but bad for sittlaiby. if that was a noarml wehel base car it wolud hvae spun isntaed of the fornt digging in and fiplinpg over aeftr that geern car hit it in the raer qrutear.

The Delta wing was a design that involved Panoz and Dan Gurney. I really do agree that it is a stupid looking car and don't get what all the hype is that surrounds it. Not like it's some kind of break through in race car engineering or anything.
