They were testing at Buttonwillow near Bakersfield California with Michelin, it was very fast in a straight line as would be expected and cornered respectably too. A narrow front turns in really well and tends to transfer more weight at the rear at a given roll angle. Ultimate lateral front grip might be compromised but if it is light enough it would work with a narrow track. It is all about balance anyway, if the front and rear are balanced it will work and it may be fast enough in a straight line to offset whatever cornering force it is giving up at the front.
