I was going to say it looked like the F1 cars I drew as a kid with my crayons.

I reckon the turbine would be much more suited to Indy racing than a road circuit like LeMans. Constant High speeds running on the banked ovals would keep it operating in it's most efficient RPM without having to spool up and down too much.

It would have been cool to hear either of them go past from the grandstand.
