I can see it going private soon.

If that was anywhere the UK there would be outrage and health and safety would be on their way in.

Horrible crash

that happened because it had a completely flat underside, nowhere for the air to escape, its occurred before in world sports car racing at le mans.

Indycar have countered that somewhat by putting a big hole in the floor just in front of the sidepods

If its a known fault makes you wonder why that car was the way it was.

I'm not sure but I think it was sold last year and is privately owned already. Not 100% sure though.

That since fell through, it's now owned (privately) by a Russian billionaire.
