I believe Richie' s car at Sebring was a Roadster, ie no real roof line? And your thinking it was a transfer of technology from his aircraft experience probably has a lot of merit. I believe the correct year is 1961 not 1962 I first mentioned. Its been awhile.
The earlier comment on the Gurney flap is tougher IMO to categorize, as it is applicable to wings, spoilers, and "lips".
Nothing I have read here has made a strong enough case for me to rethink my position on "lips" vs spoilers.
This is an "econo" site, so the mindset of dwelling on drag reduction vs DF, I get that, and by the same token the Sebring Ferrarri spoiler was all about DF and I suspect not drag. Hard to teach old dogs new tricks.
