In a crosswind, front disk wheels on bicycles are very hard to control, due to the center of pressure being ahead of the usual axis of rotation. This car seems to take that into consideration somewhat, with the extended tails on the fairings. Cars have better gyroscopic and inertial stability anyway. As for side force, the shape has turned from an inefficient monoplane lifting body to a triplane with two or four fairly low-aspect ratio wings added.
