I think that's the problem, it's more like an LMP coupe with open suspension than a single seater with a closed cockpit. I have no objection to the idea of a closed cockpit, and wrapping the bodywork more around the wheels like the FCJ design would prevent wheel-over-wheel crashes, which are really dangerous. I'd happily see that FCJ design as the blueprint for F3 cars (with minor powertrain quibbles, 1800 turbos in the vain of the FPA lumps would be good, they produced a lot of power and IIRC lasted over a season between rebuilds).
