I can see it now, the cars go screaming into turn one and every one of them keeps going straight. There’s no way that thing could make a high speed turn.

“i bet that rear wheel would tend to lift inside of turns... if the wide apart wheels were in front, it would be more stable in turns...”

“There’s no way that thing could make a high speed turn.”

I think I’m gonna disagree. There’s a stabilizing vertical fin. Massive down force from the body shape. And massive increase in ground effects. I think the engineers have taken all that into account. That said, I’m not too sure I want to have Indy Cars look like that. Perhaps another league would be more appropriate?
