The fastest closed wheel racecars in the world (LMP1) on a road course use 18x14 wheels all around, and weight only half what the Mustang does.

What is their turning radius like? I imagine similar to a school bus. :lol:

Pretty much all closed wheel, purposed designed racecars have that issue. Including my SRF with only 185/50R13 front tires.

Manuverability in a parking lot is not a design goal. And extra turning radius requires bigger fenders, which drive more weight, more drag, and lower downforce.

Pretty much why I gave up trying to autocross it after 1 try, along with terrible classing.
