It's amazing the disdain people have for this car. A brand new chassis goes out against cars backed decades of technological innovation and places 5th out of 42 friggin entries. Is the car a success? Nope. It's an absolute failure and should never have come out of the paddock. Enthusiasts are the one thing in the world that pose any threat to the things we love.
I absolutely love it. In an odd way (very odd) it reminds me of a highly tuned VW beetle. The way it squats and goes through corners in a way it shouldn't with all that rear weight.
Such an interesting beast. I've heard from many sources that it's unnatural the way it continues to pull at higher speeds with it's crazy aerodynamics.
Here's another article from TopGear driving the DeltaWing, a good read.

And here are the two delta wing crashes if you haven't seen them (unlikely as that is).
