NACA duct to vent front wheel wells?????

[botsapper]

The 250 'Redheads' Testa Rossa by Scaglietti was also called the 'pontoon' TRs because of aft portion of the front wheel wells are smoothly blended into the body sides. The intended function was to promote faster air flow through the front brakes and better engine cooling. But Ferrari quickly designed away from this controversial design. It's interesting to compare the aero numbers of the Scaglietti 'pontoon' design compared to the later 'conventional' Pinninfarina TR designs.

Earlier this year this particular TR model brought the new world record for the most expensive motor car to be sold at auction. The 1957 Ferrari 250 TR, chassis 0714TR was sold for Euro 9,020,000.

Errr...why not do it the way race cars do it? Vent upwards.

Instead of placing a bunch of vents on top of the fender, a budget modder could cut some vent holes in the strut towers (slightly Swiss Cheesed), seal the area from underhood pressure, and then vent though the edges of a raised hood.

Things needed...
1. Drill
2. Cardboard
3. Spacer washers and longer bolts
