    I noticed the missed apexes too. Although I'm not 100% sure as to the cause of it. It could be just normal shake down, take it easy type of stuff. But I'm really starting to wonder if it's more about Marino (or any driver) not really knowing where to put the car on track because he (or she) does not really have a good way of judging how wide the car is. That could have really "interesting" effects if/when this thing ever gets into traffic.
    The overall technical objective in racing is the achievement of a vehicle configuration, acceptable within the practical interpretation of the rules, which can traverse a given course in a minimum time. -Milliken

    It wasn't even a shake down. i was just a few laps to show off the car to the press and public. They are testing the car now at Sebring.

    Cool. It will be interesting to see how the actual testing shakes out.

    Yes and the delta wing was designed to race on ovals as an Indycar. The delta wing is underpowered (thus it has a low top speed) and very light (thus it never has to lift on ovals). The Delta Wing is as wrong for ovals as it is for Long Beach.
