Motorcycles have little contact patch on the front tire but they corner well.
Side cars single front tire doesnt have a large contact patch and it corners well.
It weighs 880 lbs compared to a 908 or R18 weighing 2000 lbs so that will help it corner.
I think it running LMP2 lap times is not out of the question
And if they give it a 60 liter tank it could go 16+ laps at the estimated 12mpg!
