I must admit, I think they have adopted the totally wrong strategy to try to increase overtaking. They opted to make the cars as "slippery" as possible to reduce to a minimum the "wake" affecting the front wings of following cars. I think they should have done the opposite and given them the aerodynamics of a brick to create a big hole in the air to make slipstreaming more effective down the straights. These days the cars don't seam to catch each other on the straights at all because there is no slipstream, yet I can remember being amazed at how easy it was to pass other cars in FF1600 due to this effect!
