If VW on other such front ends, there would be more of them on the track, and fewer struts or A-Arm set ups..... Take a look at what the competitive and consistent cars run, if there were a better system to be running, I imagine they would have it........
I know wheelies actully loose races, I was just giving an example that the beetles that do pull the wheels up, don't loose control from doing so. the front end takes it very well. Castor angle could be adjusted positive more to help this tho.
