We have wondered about this before.
Hypercars will run at about 1100kg (which is grotesque, btw), whereas LMP1 is in the mid-800s (varies depending on whether hybrid or not). So hypercars will be 200-250kg heavier than LMP1 and only about 150kg lighter than GTE. Combined with planned lower speeds, they will presumably be less likely to take off as a result.
Also, because there is effectively no formula, bodywork dimensions cannot be specified so easily, if at all. So how would you define the dimensions of the fin relative to the bodywork of differently shaped cars?
Hey guys, we found a silver lining! No more Big Honking Fins! Maybe.
