Eight days after its public debut in the prelude to the Sebring 12 hours, the DeltaWing has tested on rain tyres !

After the first round of the FIA World Endurance Championship​​, several teams chose to extend their stay in Florida to continue development.

This was the case for Aston Martin Racing and Audi Sport Team Joest who, after putting two cars on the podium of the Sebring 12 Hours, were testing the R18 ultra and a new e-tron Quattro R18 hybrid. Despite Timo Bernhard's accident on Monday the German team continued testing until Thursday.

 

 

In addition, the revolutionary DeltaWing took the track on Wednesday in the hands of Marino Franchitti, then on Friday on an artificially wetted track so Michelin the Tyre partner in the project, could test wet tyres specifically developed for this futuristic looking car that will occupy the 56th pit box (dedicated to new technologies) in the upcoming 24 Hours of Le Mans.
