The innovative DeltaWing project was hailed at the RACE TECH World Motorsport Symposium, associated with three awards. The Flybrid system of the DeltaWing was declared the new motor sport product of the year and the engine designer and the aerodynamicist were also rewarded.

The Flybrid CFT, which the Hope Racing prototype carried in the last 24 Hours of Le Mans is an energy recovery system like KERS. It is innovative compared to previous systems due to its small size, light weight and, above all, the energy savings it makes possible.

It is associated with an engine designed by Arnaud Martin, head of engine design at RML, the team that runs the Chevrolet Cruzes in the World Touring Car Championship, who produced an entirely new 1.6 litre engine from a clean sheet of paper. As such, he has been designated as the engine designer of racing car of the year, while his colleague received the Dino Toso  aerodynamicist trophy (Dino Toso, former Renault F1 aerodynamicist who died in 2008).

Ben Bowlby, aerodynamicist of the project, created a sensation at Road Atlanta, unveiling a car that looks like a 'Batmobile' with a very narrow front, which gives a weight distribution to the rear of the car. The lack of rear spoiler enhancing its futuristic outline. It will be equipped with Michelin tyres.

The car of the future, that will appear in action during the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was created by Don Panoz, Dan Gurney and Duncan Dayton. The project won the 56th entry in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2012 and no doubt its arrival will cause a sensation in the paddock.
