  • In this episode of Vintage Car Chronicles, we explore the fascinating story of the DeltaWing, one of motorsport's most radical and distinctive race cars. Designed by engineer Ben Bowlby and backed by racing visionaries Don Panoz and Chip Ganassi, the DeltaWing challenged conventional automotive wisdom with its revolutionary narrow-front, delta-shaped design. Introduced as an experimental entrant at the 2012 Le Mans 24 Hours under the Garage 56 category, the DeltaWing aimed to achieve competitive speeds with half the weight, drag, fuel, and tire use of traditional race cars. Despite initial skepticism, the car displayed remarkable performance and efficiency, particularly at the 2012 Petit Le Mans, achieving an impressive fifth-place finish. However, technical challenges and controversies involving intellectual property rights overshadowed its promising results. Join us to uncover the DeltaWing's unique engineering philosophy, its ups and downs in endurance racing, and why it remains one of the boldest experiments in motorsport history.
