Ever watch a sprint car race???!!!
The left front is most always in the air! and the rear is hanging out there in a mean drift!!!
  A friend of mine had a Lotus [Espirit? IIRC] and if he drove it in the rain he had to be very carefull it weighed like 15-1700 lbs and would hydroplane like mad with the tires available back then!
