The could add downforce to compensate, but then you also are adding alot of drag, and when you are going for a top speed run thats the last thing you want.
That would be pretty freaky to have it go sideways like that, I know what it feels like at say 40mph and its not so fun. haha.

Oh yeah no doubt. You can see the effects of a crosswind in that video.
Still, not deterring me from one of my goals: Drive 200mph+
Looks like a blast!
