Yes that may be so but they were running on the aerodynamic edge just waiting for some little thing to happen so the air flowing beneath them send them skyward like a leaf in the wind. Modern prototype cars don't run faster simply because they are artificially slowed down by rules imposed by sanctioning bodies meant to improve safety. If modern safety concerns were the same as they were in the 1960's, modern prototype cars would be traveling at far greater speeds than they do now.
