Nissan's revolutionary DeltaWing race car hits the track at Le Mans in video

Darren Cox, general manager of Nissan in Europe, and driver Michael Krumm talk about the progess of the DeltaWing race car during this past weekend's test session at Le Mans in preparation of the Le Mans 24 Hours race.

Drivers Michael Krumm, Satoshi Motoyama and Marino Franchitti combined to run 54 laps during the test session. Motoyama logged a fast lap of 3 minutes, 47.980 seconds at the 8.5-mile Circuit de la Sarthe.

The Nissan team, in conjunction with Dan Gurney's All-American Racers, has set out to design a competitive car that runs on half the horsepower, half the drag and half the weight of a typical race car at Le Mans.

The video was released on Monday by Nissan in Europe.
