Aw crap
That's cause it can't go around corners!!!! 
Got hit by a Porsche. That thing seems to be a magnet for other cars.

They need to quit crashing that thing.

Fixed that for you. 
Maybe my fellow Road Atlantians will help me in identifying what turn this is...

Holy cow, that doesn't look good.
According to Twittbookspaceything, they're going to have it back on the track tomorrow, so that's something:

According to American Le Mans's Twitter, they hit under the bridge in past 10.
Oh, and #PLM is in the Top 10 trending hashtags
I said it before in another thread: They need to paint the DeltaWing in dayglo colors if they want to be seen!
That looks like back up car time.
Is there a back up car ?
In reply to iceracer:
There's a back up tub

Eleven, slightly downstream from the Bridge. He's right where it really starts to drop off, the short chute is blind from trackside now that they've lowered where the flag station sits (that photo looks like it was actually shot from the station). On this map, pretty close to the left side of the circle with "11" in the middle.
EDIT: Re-"downstream"..corner workers describe the course as regards the flow of traffic. "Upstream", where they come from. "Downstream", where they're going.
TL;DR: Left side of the photo is drivers' left.
The biggest problem that thing has when running near other cars is it's light weight. The Le Mans accident was a clear demonstration of that. If another car comes in contact with it, it just bounces off the track. It won't be able to hold it's own if another car even leans on it. I do like the idea, but the drivers have to extra vigilant about contact with any other car.

ROFL! My SCCA region (Atl) for years has had an embroidered patch for workers who've worked a National at RdAtl. We do, in fact call it the "Pork Chop Patch". I'd hotlink a pic, but I can't find one, and I can't find mine to scan it. Mine's actually so old that it doesn't include the T10 Chicane!

I'll give a big thumbs up to that idea!
I hope they can get it back together for Saturday, that was one of the biggest factors me going this year, I just want to see it run. I'm also surprised, I'd expect that to happen around 10, but I guess we'll need some more traffic...
I cannot fathom that I got to see that car run at Sebring this year. I also cannot fathom that the Sebring I'm referring to was still "this year".
It seems like ages ago.
The delta wing was super squirrely in 10 b .....................
Shame to see it damaged. I'm assuming the driver was okay?
