The Deltawing is definitely the one to watch. Half the power, half the downforce, half the fuel consumption, same performance. That's real progress in anyone's book. I salute the LeMans organizers for allowing the car to run. Ironically it was knocked out by one of the hybrid Toyotas!
The hybrid cars won due the rules being stacked in their favor far more than any kind of superiority in design or efficiency.
Last year (I think) F1 cars were allowed to choose between having a KERS system + its 44lbs additional weight + its additional complexity, or not having it and saving the weight/complexity. The KERS cars kicked butt on the straights and so they all have it now.
