Haven't seen this on here yet, and I'm hoping they win something early on. I'd like to seem them at Le Mans against their old nemesis and my team!

hawkeye122Open cockpit is to Spitfire as Closed Cockpit is to F22.
It's just a preference i suppose.
Ya, preference. i love being able to spot whos driving at the races without having to look at a tv monitor. watching the wind buffering the helmet and watch their head dip from the g forces under hard braking. closed cockpit cars look cooler, but i enjoy watching the drivers more in open. that could be a cool thread idea. what type of car everyone prefers...

And here is the Corvette they will be fighting with. And like always, I would like to see them kick everyone's ass. I would also would like for them to go back to the 2008 "Jake Scrape" livery, it was the best one they had.
The mystery has been solved: Nissan will be providing the engine for the DeltaWing.

Joking aside, Its happened many times before. I believe the 50 anniversary was also on St.Patricks day. Maybe thats just how the dates fall.
The DeltaWing will make its first public appearance at Sebring. However, it will not be contesting the race. I think it will be doing a demonstration run some time before the race begins before being parked. The testing Marino Franchitti was talking about will be carried out elsewhere.
How would they be able to test at La Sarthe? Or I'm just reading too much into your post...
They wouldn't be able to do a test at La Sarthe and the only pre runs they get are the practice and quali before the actual 24hrs. La Sarthe being part of public roads is only open to racing once a year. Or at least this is what I've read and heard during the 24h event.
The DeltaWIng will do demonstration laps before the race. After the race, Highcroft will remain at Sebring for a few more days to conduct extensive testing. They'll have all the data from the race (lap times by all cars in all classes) so I guess that'll give them a good idea on where they stand pace-wise.

There is a test day Le Mans before the race every year. (not run in '09 or '10) It's held in April and it is when new drivers have to run laps in daylight and nighttime to allow them to race on the track.
Edit. 3rd of June this year.
