I want to understand the logic here because if it works that's awesome. However, A.) all cars have two (larger) wheels up front, and B.) do the tires being close together provide greater turning ability? I've always thought that the wider the wheel base the greater the car can suppress body roll. If this thing lifts one of the tires under hard cornering, there isn't a lot left in contact with the track.
