Some cars leave a paper trail; the DeltaWing left a name and a place in Nissan's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it. Ben Bowlby drew it.

The story

The DeltaWing is a racing car designed by British race car designer and engineer Ben Bowlby and debuted at the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans. The entry was run under the Project 56 name, composed of Ben Bowlby (design), Dan Gurney's All American Racers (constructor), Duncan Dayton's Highcroft Racing (racing team) and International Motor Sports Association owner Don Panoz (managing partner).

Nissan's NISMO division provided the engine in return for naming rights for part of 2012. The DeltaWing was built and maintained at Panoz headquarters in Braselton, Georgia, US.
