Maybe they're (wisely) running very large wheels and wanted clearance? I'm not too knowledgeable about drag setups tho

In retrospect though they don't seem massively wise. This kind of crash isn't an unforseen risk, and it happens exactly when you build this type of car with that kind of aero lol.

Feel like some simple modeling would have foreseen the complete lack of effective front aero haha
