The only reason I went to Road Atlanta this year was to see this car, all I can say is these lads made my week. I still have a feeling they could have gone faster, I clocked a lap on Friday that was 1 minute 12 seconds and point 81 with my stopwatch and I know how to use it. Well done lads, excellent car and very nice people, who talked with me without any feeling of inequality. They would and should have been on the podium and that is a fact.
Mr. Bowlby, You have conclusively proven that you and your team are to be held in the same esteem as Jim Hall and Colin Chapman. Innovators, outside of the box thinkers, effiiciency experts...engineers with developed right brains. Deltawing has offered a ray of hope in an era of racing series that seemingly are converging on spec racecars with little opportunity for the boundless ideas of truly creative engineess, dampened enthusiasm for the real transfer of racing technology to road car development and the notion that racing is only to be considered for its commercial entertainment value. Thank you for proving that, if allowed, racing can be THE PLACE where new ideas, new thoughts that fly in the face of accepted practice, and fresh takes on technology should be encouraged and allowed to flourish. You and your team have taken convention and turned it on its head using sound engineering. Thank you all for showing what can be done, if only given the opporunity.
