The DeltaWing: more oil burner than oil painting

Bernie and Slavica Ecclestone: it's hard to say who looks more uncomfortable.

F1 supremo Bernard Charles Ecclestone owns various bits of Formula One and has done since the 1970s, all of which has made him a very rich man. He also co-owns QPR Football Club, which does at least demonstrate that not all his decisions are spot-on.

In his time, Ecclestone has managed drivers, owned teams, sold TV rights he probably didn't have in the first place and married someone 28 years younger and 28cm taller than him. He has also developed a slightly bewildering antipathy towards Silverstone.

LeM: Nissan to supply DeltaWing engine	by Virgil Ellipse 13th Mar 2012

The DeltaWing: more oil burner than oil painting Nissan has confirmed that it has signed up as a partner in the DeltaWing project and will supply the engine for the radical lightweight Le Mans 24 Hours contender. The Japanese manufacturer will provide the DeltaWing's 1.6-litre 300bhp engine, which has already run in the car during its first shakedown in California earlier this month. A spokesman for Nissan denied rumours that Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclescake had asked them to bring forward the announcement of their involvement so that there'd be something uglier than the current crop of F1 cars in the news during the run-up to the first race of the season.
