You know what pissed me off most about the Nissan Deltawing crash...
It was hit by a fucking Toyota...
and if the Toyota had hit another LMP it would have been a penalty... but because of the Deltawing design it was ruled as a blind spot.

Garbage ruling...Nakajima knew he was there. He was in the midst of passing him. It's not like the Deltawing crept up on him and he didn't realize it.

Yea, he knew he was there, but even before the crash they were was talk about how difficult this thing is to see. When you see it next to the LMP cars it really does look tiny. It was an error on Nakajima's part, but i don't think they could have ruled any other way. I mean the car isn't really even racing against anything else. Sucks major though. I would have loved to see this thing do well.

on a positive note... 13 other Nissan Powered cars still on track...

LMP Drivers are complaining about visability issues of the new Mono design... the wheel arches are to big.

However I do agree.. Nakajima had a mental break while chassing 4 other LMPs and his foot got the better of him.
His actions were the exact same as the one just a few laps earlier with the Ferrari. That shit was nuts!!

God can you imagin going flat out down the Mulsanne Straight, in the Deltawing... scary as hell...

And they are all losing to the only damn Honda in the race. Someone needs to hunker down and put some flying laps in. I'm sure Honda is loving it.
