I did them for the last wind tunnel trip.After losing an igniter,I thought some additional engine bay ventilation might help,after 'looking around' in there with a pyrometer.
Money ran out,so I don't have an A-B-A result,just for the two hood extractors.Blocking the cooling system inlet and extractors off did register a Cd 0.027 difference.It wasn't feasible to alter the underside of the truck for testing,so it remains an unknown quantity.
I used the 1976 Pininfarina/Morelli, CNR 'banana' car as an inspiration for the extractors.
