Damn it, and I thought it might have been some form of hook to drag your slow teammate around the track.

Actually my first thought was a tiedown for transporting, but I guess that would be silly to have something on the car that wasnt needed trhough the race.

At least the real use is more interesting than a simple tiedown.

Its a toe hook to enable the marshals to clear the McLarens off the track after they (inevitably) break down :lol:

Ahh: McLarens. I remember a "pre-wing" Mclaren that the Museum of Modern Art of New York purchased and hung on the wall ---as --- a Piece of Art!
