I have to disagree a little bit on the downforce issue. I also thought that they were perhaps running too little downforse and too close to the edge. But, look at how they are running on some of these tracks. Many of the tracks they are flat out the whole way around. Even on a few of the miles they can go flat out through the turns. Just read an article on the changes at PIR where they talk about being able to go flat out through turns 3 and 4. This has to be because of downforce. Don't fool yourself.
Now I admit that I'm no aero genius. I believe the IRL cars are ground effects cars (like CART). Correct me if I'm wrong please. But what about running no ground effects like the current F1 cars? And perhaps adopt a new aero package that forces the cars to lift some in the turns.
