To aid road holding and drag reduction. think it was along the lines of an airdam in front of rear wheels. basically a v shaped dam with the point of v along centre line of car. wide part of v finished just in front of rear wheels. will need to do more googling on this.
So what did you find out? It sounds like a bad idea to me. Two V's in front of and/or behind only the tires would be a wheel spat, which would be helpful. Including the area between the tires would trip up the airflow exiting the underbody. Of course unless you have a bellypan it's probably a mess anyway.
