That's OK, coupled with the post directly above it, I thought it came in 3rd at the 1997 Monaco GP.

I don't know how they got something that light to hook up like that. Fantastic weight transfer, I guess.

Compliant suspension and no rear sway bar. Probably also has a fairly tall rearend so there is a lot of torque on the driveshaft relative to the tires.

A lotta serious drag cars will have HUGE rear swaybars in order to combat this. And then there's the old school way, ladder bars. Car will leave straight if the rearend physically cannot articulate
