I still don't understand how it can turn with two 4" tires in the center front of the car. Does it have something to do with the relationship between the narrow front and wide rear? Is it some aero principle being implemented?

Fuck the what?
shit looks so goofy. I thought it was a salt flats car at first, then I saw it was on a track.
Can't wait to see this on a track with other cars and trying to pass others.

Looks cool, and seems to get around the track pretty well.

Reminds me of an X-Wing in that second video.
