There's actually a lot of point. 1- wind resistance, having two sets of wheels which are shorter than normal allows for a lower coefficient of drag and frontal area which means, instantly, more top speed, less wind resistance. 2-at the same, the car will have twice the contact patch up front, giving it more traction, which, coupled with the right handling bias, creates a beautifully handling machine. Does anyone remember the old F1 cars of the 70's with this set up??? actually, it's quite ingenius. :2thumbsup:
