    trailer hitch

    Not a correct assumption. You are looking at pictures when the car was being serviced and the rear belly pan/diffusor was removed. It allowed a clearer view of how it was mounted in response to many requests. Everything is in place when the car is not being serviced. The only mounting points...

Depending on how agressive you are in driving on a road circuit and its configuration tires pressures can easily rise...
