It would not matter because the point of failure will be at mounting points. The force is concentrated downwards (vertically) on those point. Connecting to the cage only makes a difference if that connection allows the force to be channeled in such a way that the cage consumes that force. E.g have the front and rear scafolding on both sides go directly through the trunk of the car and connect directly to the cage as opposed to ending them and doing a horizontal connection.
Now yes it could be a very exotic very strong component whereby if the car is driven at average race speeds sub 150mph it doesn't matter but it just seems to be one of several things on this build that first glance seem really cool but under more scrutiny seem kinda odd. That being said it will be interesting to see more details on the build.

horizontal mounts isn't a problem. the fasteners will be in shear which is easy to calculate for. and they are obviously much bigger then the 4 tiny 1/4" bolts holding the wing itself to the uprights, which are also in shear.

Anyone come across other photos or information? I'm really intrigued by this car and team.

Do you really doubt that they thought it through? After all, the car is on KW's mega-bucks shaker platform in those pictures, so it's not like these guys are just winging it in someone's garage.
