DeltaWing back on track

The Nissan DeltaWing is ready for qualifying at Petit Le Mans after the crew completed a marathon overnight repair job after Wednesday's dramatic roll-over.

Gunnar Jeannette was struck by a GTC Porsche during Wednesday testing. The Nissan DeltaWing was extensively damaged after tumbling down the hill exiting turn 11.

The incident was captured by the car's on-board camera along with the Nissan-powered Conquest Racing P2 car which was immediately behind. The resulting YouTube video recorded more than 350,000 views within 24 hours! Click the header graphic above to view the video.

After the crash, the Nissan DeltaWing crew immediately got to work and within 24 hours, the car was ready to go for Thursday night's practice session.

With race components now fitted – including the Nissan 1.6 liter DIG-T turbocharged engine – both Jeannette and teammate Lucas Ordonez completed their mandatory night practice.
