This is exactly what made cars like the Ferrari 512S/M, Porsche 917 and the GT1 racers eligible to race. What was even worse was the Porsche 962 that won the GT1 class. The MC12 is still derived from a road car. The Enzo's design philosophy of extensive use of ground effects just did not allow it to race. Ferrari probably felt that the chassis would be a good starting point for a racing car, so they chose to do it like they did with the Maser. It might start a revolution.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
