What an interesting curio these cars are... I still don't understand how they have all ended up there and that this was considered the optimal solution. Interesting to hear the Tebo interview where he was saying most of them look terrible to drive and unstable. I mean Davey Battas didn't, but I suspect this is talent related. Tebo was pondering how well his stand-up RB6 would have done...or cars from 2015 ish. Like, what was the design aim? I get they tried it with the B7 as 5 gear was the only option and that's a way of getting more weight to the rear. But Schumacher have the layback and chose to this route? Is it that the SWB and instability lead to quicker lap times...if you can hang onto it?.. Will we see cars get shorter now? I'd love to know what they tried and how they ended up where they did. For me, I thought 4 gear laydown would be worth a go. The XB2 with this was always a weapon on wet astro with this.
