Has anybody tried to do active aero for steering assist? It seems like an obvious thing... add downforce to the inside wheel to combat roll. This keeps the car level and the tire wear even.
Early on, there was talk that the Deltawing had some active aero steering in the rear underbody, like "flaps". It was either outlawed, like all active aero, or didn't pan out, because I never actually saw it on the car.
