Clowns? Seriously?
This sort of knife edge stability crops up each time the rules get changed to slow the cars and the aero folks go looking for a new advantage.
I would submit that one does not test for running in reverse. Yes, the cars sometimes get sideways or even backwards, but if you are trying to maximize the speed on the straights and the cornering force, you're not likely to also try to make a car that remains glued to the track at 200 mph pointed in the wrong direction.
