bit of a shame
That none of this will translate to F1 or the car industry, rules,rules,rules.

Indeed.
DRS is a bit of a cop out solution to turbulent air.
There's nothing stopping the FIA adopting this style of design for the F1 regs, but I severely doubt it would be anywhere near as fast in a straight line or around corners as current cars and especially those of the early 2000's, even with a hulking great engine in it.
Doesn't really look like it leaves much room for innovation or development either. But that's probably why I'm not an F1 engineer.

It was faster down the back straight than every other car
Whilst using half the horsepower. It was also on course to beat all the lmp2 cars at Le Man's before getting rammed into a wall at Le Mans. As a first attempt I'd say that was pretty good, and given development time there's no reason I can see that it couldn't compete in the top categories. It was initially proposed as the next generation indycar after all.
