I drew this as sort of a joke. Unfortunately, now I am starting to like it. I often dream about building a racing plane and this thing seems like a good configuration for racing. Since I know nothing about twins or this configuration, I really have no idea if it would be fast. It certainly looks like it would be (to me anyway). My question is what are the bad points of this configuration concerning racing? Some “specifications” are 2500-pound race weight, about 1000HP, and a wing area of about 100 square feet.

What’s kind of crazy is that building this configuration would in may respects be simpler than building the conventional single on which it is based.
