Actually, they're missing a couple of wheels. (2007 joke)

If it's anything like what they've done before, the wheels are in a bit of an arc, so it acts more like a 6WD drop than a 4WD "bounce turn".

Looks like it'd be more of an 8WD, but I could be wrong.

Is this a similar design to what your team ran in 2008? If so, what reliability changes were made?

I don't see this as having much higher turning scrub than a six wheel drive. In theory, this system would behave like a tread drive and this would turn even without drop. I guess we shall see!
