Daox,
The idea is the put the air straightener ahead of the radiator to introduce "clean air" (in the aerodynamic sense) to the matrix as opposed to having the radiator sit in a disturbed air flow.
Bill,
I don't have a picture or a link.
What I had in mind was a box structure to sit ahead of the radiator and let the air enter the radiator in a more controlled fashion.
The logic being this would then allow a smaller radiator for the same job.
Most formula car designers go to great length to make sure their radiators sit in clean air within the limitations of the rules so this is an extension of that idea.
The best I can think of just now is a lightweight box the same dimensions as the radiator matrix. Into this box is a series of tubes or vanes to direct airflow similar to an egg crate arrangement used to separate glasses or bottle inside cardboard boxes.
Peter.
