It looks like the outboard "wing" is on the windward side. Is it actually a counterweight to prevent the vehicle from tipping over in the wind? I would have expected it to be more like a sideboard on a sailboat being a sort of leeward stabilizer.

Regardless this is absolutely crazy, hard to believe they think they can go even faster. And 22 knots isn't even that unusually fast wind (over water, speed records have more like 25-30 knots) I wonder if on land the speed improvements are more about material sciences and preventing the vehicle from breaking apart or tipping over
