I wonder how they exhaust the high pressure air in the front wheel wells. Ditto for the radiator flow.





That radiator ducting you posted is neat, but I bet it would require some serious length. Many Motorsport radiator ducts use a 7 degree expansion angle as a rule of thumb, but this has radiused curves over straight lines. Hmm, I’m still inclined to believe that dumping air out the bottom like that would make lift.

Anyways, test test test. I may make a magnehekic gauge.
With a properly shaped underbody, it can assist with a super-velocity which can actually cancel lift for the vehicle.
