It’s the Star Wars version of the French Foreign Legion’s recruitment practices, which actually does allow people to sign up under a pseudonym. Indeed the Legion used to accept even criminals. More importantly, this is a trope that was common in the serial films that Star Wars tries to emulate.

Easily. The lack of grip means all you need to do is get the vehicle sideways while making sure that momentum keeps it moving in the previous direction.

I’m betting it's taxes. Probably sone5form of galactic "chicken tax" that makes it prohibitably expensive to buy/sell roofed models. 

Nobody would want to spend on that anyway since they would rather spend on the 2021 car before the budget cap hits.

Because one of the teams, and only that team, has the power to deep sex the entire thing since they’re the only one with veto powers. Three guesses who this team is.

If teams are complaining, then they have no one else to blame but themselves, considering that a delayed cost cap was apparently one of the things that certain other teams asked for in exchange for giving their thumbs up to the new rules.

What gets me is that it looks like they hit it because they're all turning in too early. Is everybody here trying to jump the curb? 

That's what gets me. These cars are doing what they do in the same tires you and me could run on our daily drivers. 

If you’re referring to the Tilton Evo, that competes in a different class (Open Class) that allows crazier aero and more (over 1000) horsepower.

As someone else pointed out to me, probably Clubsprint, and not Open Class.

This isn’t just a car for SEMA. This is an actual race car that’s just being debuted at the event. It’s set to compete at the Global Time Attack series, so it does have to follow a set of regulations.

Needs to keep production internal sheetmetal, and yes active aero is banned.

Needs to keep production internal sheetmetal, and yes active aero is banned. It’s probably closer to Group B (albeit still much, much more open) than Can Am.

The rear aero treatment got me confused. That giant diffuser looks almost like something from the Open Class.

Because regardless of weight gain, there’d be less passing without it.

Fuudo mained Fei Long in SFIV and Mika in SFV.

Probably one of the few aero devices that's banned. 

That’s actually pretty conservative for a Time Attack car. The sport is probably the closest we have to the balls to the wall aero development we used to get back in the 80s. For example, here’s last years WTAC winning Porsche 968.

Surprised at how conservative the front end aero seems to be. Most Time Attack cars, even in the stricter Global Time Attack series, tend to have more aggressive solutions.

For the rest of the world, that would be any sort of Land Cruiser (including the 70 Series which is still in production in some markets).
