It also makes me marvel at the difficult history of automotive streamlining, and the hazards of copying shapes. That series shows the importance of downforce, which mandates hard suspensions now, but may lead to load levellers next year. For decades, most attempts at streamlining were inspired by aircraft, where a bit of gratuitous lift is always welcome, and nobody realized why that made the handling tricky. When wings were discovered, Colin Chapman put his right on the hub carriers, but they broke and that was banned. If he'd just added a bit of suspension to the wing, we might still have big wings and slim bodies. We might even have vertical fins to help change direction with, which is the point of all the new drag inducers.
I was a rear-engine fan all my life, until I realized that all fast, light vehicles should be able to enter a stable glide.
