But after seeing how succesful that chassis was, it is only a small detail.
One of the big advantages to having exposed wheels (such as also in the design central to this thread) is the ability to quickly replace your wheels. This is especially true on live axles (as also in this frame design). Reportedly 968 could switch an individual wheel in around 1 minute (or less) with their exposed, cantilevered, live axle design last year. Whether some sort of guard or bumper mount that is quickly and easily removable (or doesn't inhibit replacing wheels) can be added is a challenge left up to the individual team.
