  1. Wings are definitely unnecessarily large

  2. ​ @TedwardDrives Sure, I've seen them all in person. But, no, it does not require that much surface area to achieve desired down force is the point. If these corners are similar to the competition then there's no way the aero isn't stalling out frequently at those low speeds, or at least being too ineffective to justify it. You can get far more entry speed while producing similar down force from reduced wing area. More entry speed also allows a diffuser (which works more efficiently due to proximity to the ground) to work more effectively. All it takes is a driver with enough practice because it's not as natural to drive like this.
