I just hope it happens. But I'm of the opinion that I'd much rather see the car race over here in the states than over at Le Mans, but oh well.
That thing looks amazing.

They very specifically said "Maybe" for 2014.

You do know that Dr. Panoz stands to make money from the car's success, right? As he's the one that will be building them. And he's on the board for the new series. And that he wants to make an initial production run for the 2013 season of ALMS. And that part of the agreement between the two series when they merged was that the DeltaWing have a spot on the grid.

I don't see how any of that points to "maybe".
Details on the DeltaWing as an Indy Lites car.
I think that, if the Indy Lites deal happens, that might be the only reason we don't see the DeltaWing in Sportscar racing, as the IRL might want the car to remain exclusive to it's series, instead of seeing a slightly different version also racing in another series at the same time.

"For 2014, the new series would incorporate Daytona prototypes, Le Mans prototypes, and maybe even a DeltaWing."
Thats from the link you gave me. So don't say that I'm wrong, and then pull in other sources that I wasn't aware of.

It does, but I'm gonna chalk it up to a playful figure of speech, especially since it was quoted. The DeltaWing is looking more and more like it's going to have a very good chance of going racing.

^Fair Enough.
So how much longer does DHH get to be an "Amateur" driver? When you keep pace with LMP1 all day, while Scott Tucker keeps a pathetic pace, I would assume that you're no longer just an amateur.

Guys, anything and everuthing we've seen or heard comes from the press conference where France use those words. Nothing official has been anounced since, even the Delta Wing people where surprised when they heard it.

"In the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), the two Audi driver line-ups are fighting a thrilling battle for the title. As of the sixth of the season’s eight rounds in Bahrain on September 29, a new strategy will guarantee absolute equality of opportunity. Audi will start to compete with two hybrid vehicles to set the agenda for the future."

That Toyota was just so quick at Sao Paulo.
I saw some worried faces in the Audi garage whenever the camera focused on them.

Toyota feel they'll be in an even better spot next weekend in Bahrain. There are 7! braking zones for hybrid regeneration. That's equal to LeMans. All but two of the turns following those braking zones are under 120kph. That plays into the hands of Toyota's rear drive hybrid.

Let's see if the team though can provide the same performance again. The car maybe a bullet, but that Audi team is still one effective gun.
That said, I really want this car in GT6.
