This is a fantastic thread, the only downside is there are 3 other posts appearing while replying, so it may appear a bit disjointed to some tomorrow!
Craig - I think that is one of the attractions of the idea, to make the cars have larger fuel tanks. It would mean they are a bit larger in some areas and heavier, but one of the things that annoys me at the moment is the way they trumpet how much underweight the cars are so they can use tungsten to get it back up to spec! I think the minimum weight should be a lot closer to the actual weight of the car.
ysofast - isn't one of the downsides of ground effects aero that once you have some yaw on the car you lose airflow and downforce? Which is more dangerous in an accident, or more accurately it could convert more potentials into actuals.
