We do all this simply to ensure peak performance or in engineering terms - efficiency. Another thing we do is make the drive train as modular as possible. Therefore, if we do make a mistake, we have a chance to correct ourselves during the season without any major re-designs.
I know this has been asked and answered before, but what is the benefit to this?

If I remember right, it causes you to bounce while turning (atleast it did last year)... Isn't that hard to control?

I know you have good reasons for it, enlighten us.
