Hi folks,

Can I ask what is the intended aerodynamic function of these side skirts?

Personally, it feels a bit counterintuitive -- I would think that you want to have air "escape" out from under the car; and not to trap it under the car. And none of the ultra-low Cd cars that I am aware of have anything like this.
