Trailing streamlining is very critical. Look at any airplane. After many years in the timing stand and watching chute deployment, it's very interesting to see how chutes works on different cars. This

It seems to me that several people built "rear engined" cars that were not legal and got a class to run in. So your point is? Mike

my comment on the rear steer was mostly tongue in cheek.....I think it CAN be done, but needs fly by wire to do so....and that the powers that be will not allow yet, at least until the latest MB show

Lotsa difference between the front-end aerodynamics of Walkeys 'liner and the ass-end aerodynamics of a 27. The 27 rear end more closely resembles the front of a 40's car. Walkey's car and the Polywo
