I am at work watching this. I rarely ever watch these classes of cars race. So I am seeing these 3 wheeled looking cars on the track. What the heck are they? Didn't find anything on Google really.

    I would guess that they are Nissan's new experimental race cars. Very cool!

    The thing looks more like a Bonneville car to me.

    Maybe if that'd been the car in 1955....it'd have flown clear over the crowd....instead of decapitating them!:eek:

    Le Mans is my favorite race for that reason; so many different cars and different classes all racing at the same time.

    Yeah that sucked! Just when I found out what the hell it was it got knocked out of the race. Now it's all over. And all that's left is Nascar to watch...while at work....for a 12 hour shift! :(

    In return, a Ferrari took out Toyota's Le Mans racing hybrid....

    IMO the Delta Wing is the ugliest race car I have ever seen.
