Interesting undertray and splitter on this race car.

I stumbled upon these guys site. A couple good simple articles, but what I like most is that undertray/diffuser design.

That's more of a bash plate.

It is elegant and would be relatively easy to install, I guess, but there are a lot of open areas along the sides that would be drag producing. I like the comment about it being "more of a bash plate" ... one with a diffuser.

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

The linked article doesn't have material thickness or weight. Do they disclose that?

Any wider and it would be hard to get under the car. The areas before, between and after could have solutions that attach to the flanged edge.

It looks like a job for Polymetal/Alumapanel to me:
