The way my brain is going to interpret the guy's comment,is that the flow is already destroyed across the front wheelhouse cavity,so let's use the nose of the car to encourage useful air to follow the flank of the car just above the wheel arch,to fortify the flow down the sides of the car,allowing any body camber to work a little better,reaching the tail with good flow.Otherwise,the air gets torn up into circulation which cannot translate angular momentum into static pressure recovery.If that's what he means,then I'm okay with what he's saying.
