True, but in a position of no mechanical advantage, while simultaneously developing a deleterious torque aft.
You'll notice Indy cars and F1 moving wings as far forward, and as far aft of the axles, to get the force-at-a- distance leverage as Hucho advocates for in his chapter on high performance sports, and racing cars.
