Most of the open cockpit LMPs are fugly anyway. Only the Peugeot and Aston look nice.

Open cockpit + Shark's fin = Possibly the most gloriously, beautiful car ever made.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Racecar Engineering magazine did research on this and found that the blow overs more likely to occur under yaw. The Peugeot that crashed at the Porsche Curves section being a good example.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080
