..RIGHT?!?

Rado wins in FWD class with giant front mount WING





Everything is unofficial at this point, but the novel approach to FWD aerodynamics registered a 1:22.623 lap at Willow Springs raceway — only four seconds slower than a track-built Acura NSX running the same day. Track officials are still sifting through the record books, but it's believed Rado has set a new lap record for FWD cars, and that's while dealing with turbocharger issues.

The car may look goofy, but you can't argue with the results. Form following function is a hallmark of racing, and we're happy to see this guy chucking convention on it's ear, damning the aesthetics and putting speed at the forefront of the sport. We're sure his competitors are already taking notes.

So I guess function > form even though it is hideous.

Since theres so many FWD Unlimited cars and all. But why wouldn't they? I think they dropped around 2 seconds from the front wing alone.

hopefully this will put an end to the era of GIGANTIC rear wings on FWD cars.
