I like it, in a wacky races kinda way. I'm not a betting man but I
wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't find it's way onto the car at a race
weekend.

Mimics "rice boy" "basket handle" wings.

Good as a lifting point.

Spain.

There's going to be questions raised if the middle bit moves relative to

It's interesting to see what (airfoils, endplates and other
aero-appendages) can be done in carbon and with 3-D CFD to implement

is the president of a software company.
