Now were talking about what I want to talk about in this post. That is exactly why I designed this truck the way I did. So some of the hot air from underhood exits this vent and then blends with the air on the leading edge of the rolled-in skirt.
The skirt on the ferriari is for visual mostly, and to let a bit of air out from under the front of the car. On a Ferrari, they are tubbed, so air doesn't have a great way to get out teh front of the car.

If by the word "skirt" you are referring to the F1 fence, I disagree. The F1 fence is there to maintain the flow around the bumper and air dam and some air traveling over the wheel and tire. The rolled-in door panel is used to let a bit of air out from under the front of the car.
