gttouring should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
the "modern" look raises the nose to allow for the front wing to get more air and work better-IIRC
keeping the nose attached will keep down force lower provided the wings are the same dimensions (the area for the nose high would have larger effective area)
the undertray aero allowed in INdycar past and present and either split variation allowed to keep the nose low as more down force was found that way.
so keep the noses low or better the wing attached to the nose by the chord or wing section rather than attached by a support beam (s)
viola- Indy style look the big IRL side pods are also built as a matter of intrusion safety and anti wheel interlocking..so that must stay...
but speedways should run smaller single element wings
