With the hump on Conrod, I dont think there is any amount of downforce that will keep the car 100% grounded at speed. I suspect the car will have a fairly high ride height to cope with it all...

Hope there are those titanium skidplates aboard... scraping carbon fibre on the road might damage the road

Not long till March 22...
