Racecars are so beguiling. They look so sleek and sexy, yet so many of their features don't translate to FE on our daily drivers.
But
What if we (somehow) ran a duct from the inner wheel well back to the rear of the car into a low pressure area...
The size of duct to make a difference would probably make it not feasible.
Without a pressure profile for the car,you'd be running the risk that air from behind the car would actually flow 'forwards' in the duct, towards a relatively lower pressure area up front.
