i believe something similar, useing an inverse scoop like setup was first used on a 70's muscle car... can't come up with the name though.

one thing that puzzles me is that this seems to sugest rheres high pressure in the wheelwells, while other sources sugest there's a low pressure...

i could accept eihter case, but i'm running a bellypan i'm somewhat relying on the "low pressure theory" for radiator air extraction.

or is this the reason these sports cars use this setup as well?
