Bob, wings are just another tool in the chest to go faster. Jeez, sanctions have already banned more than enough technical advances. Do you really want them to dock the biggest one of the last 50 years? Aside from that, sportscars and formula cars are so synonymous with wings, that they simply wouldn't look remotely "modern" without them. You're not going to help motor racing by turning the clock back like that. Oh, and despite what you say, I have absolutely no doubt that the Greenwood Corvettes weren't particularly stable aerodynamically. They may well not have been as bad as the initial Porsche 917s, but with a nose shape like that, you're probably making lift somewhere, not to mention your comments about hanging the tail out.
Johntt, I don't see the problem with a couple of those ovals, as long as they can't run them flat-out, and they have little enough downforce that the cornering G''s aren't causing black-outs.
