Why do some old race cars have no differential?

I was browsing through some historic race cars on wikipedia and saw that the famous Porsche 935 Moby Dick has no differential at all. Why would this be used? Wouldn’t it seriously impair handling and tire wear?

Since it was rear engined, it probably used a trans axle. That’s a transmission and differential in the same package.
