Back to the original question: On race cars, front fenders are vented on top to reduce lift. Jim Hall started it in 1966 (Chapparal 2E--the first high winged race car, among its many other innovations). For about a year, he let people believe the vents were to control tire temperature; clever guy, that Jim Hall.
