I guess I look at this differently. I think the point behind the build is pushing the envelope on a technology. FWD isn't my bag either, but I can acknowledge props on a well engineered vehicle. There are plenty of RWD cars with crazy aero and hp so I don't understand the hate. It's a time attack car competing in a FWD class if I'm not mistaken. They wanted to build the fastest FWD car and they did. They wanted to build a newer version that was even better and they did. Props to the engineering behind it. Props to the redonkulous power they are pushing from that motor as well.

Somebody's got aero/power envy...
It looks like they are spending huge amounts of time and effort to make lemonade out of lemons with that car. Just like Porsche does with rear engine layouts. Porsche has spent 50 years perfecting a bad idea.
Same amount of aero and power on front-mid engine rwd car would rape that car.

I mean, it's just a wing that makes sense for FWD.
