Oh, I forgot the inner mud guards:
I'm thinking that they're probably there for a reason. Perhaps the test drivers continued to having to dodge small stones. If that is the problem, I wouldn't mind if they became standard. If one is to race it, it should be just as easy to unbolt the entire mud guard.
Speaking of mud guards: I'll be finding me a nice piece of very thick leather, impregnate it with lanolin, and bolt it to the wooden frame behind the rear wheel so mud and stones won't hit the aluminium, denting it to bits. With "butterfly" bolts it should be easy to take it off and giving it a good rinse once in a while.
