It looks like...
...it will be a demon in a straight line (even if it does seem a little underpowered). Can't see how it will generate much downforce though, so corners may be a bit of an issue. But it is De La Sarthe. So probably not.

Well I guess the answer to that
is the lower drag and weight (they're talking about half the drag and weight of a normal LMP car) means they can get away with lower power. Most of the downforce comes from the venturi tunnels at the back, where the weight is.
I'm a bit puzzled about how it'll perform in corners, but I can only assume they've done their sums and it all stacks up. After all, to get to the stage where they're entering it into a race they're bound to have done the relevant simulations to prove it actually works.
