Nissan looks back at the DeltaWing's first year

Filed under: Motorsports, Videos, Nissan, Racing



It was a tumultuous year for the Nissan DeltaWing. After garnering the support of sponsors and fielding one of the most unique race cars in recent history, the team suffered an early crash at the 24 Hours of Le Mans that saw them sidelined during the remainder of the car's debut race.
