A sensational Delta Wing concept for the next generation IRL cars - designed by Ganassi's Ben Bowly - will be introduced on the Chicago Motor Show! It looks ..... well ..... bizarre. Am I dreaming??

33 of those lined up on Memorial day at Indy - do me a favour !

They should make a carbon fibre lotus 38 as the standard car for all to race !

You must be kidding!

do me a favour is english slang for " are you F*cking joking "

I will start a slang course pretty quickly to keep our communication up-to-date. LOL

That Delta Wing is not a joke, it could be Chapman's creation.

Why do I associate it with a Gillette razorblade?

Indeed, there is some similarity. Although the Sigma is 4 decades older.

As an IRL fan, I have seen that picture and it is well, awful. But if you look at the current generation of IRL car, they look well, awful!!! I can't imagine this will be something that will fly when the IRL finally replaces the 2003-era Dallara beasts, but you never know!!
