ian, the level of engineering and ingenuity at the professional race level never fails to amaze me. As a big fan of F1 (heading to COTA this weekend), I've long appreciated the subtle tweaks and constant improvement of both mechanical and aero advantage. I had no idea about those Nascar channels and purpose.
If the diffuser is there to help with the low pressure underneath to help the aero aids on top, it would seem that the Singer diffuser might be more about aesthetics (like most modern cars with air scoops which are non-functional) than true race proven tech. I don't imagine the ducktail provides the most downforce and if the diffuser is a counterbalance to that... Especially true if as Jack mentions, only 1% of Singer owners will ever track the car.
Not that the aesthetics of the diffuser is a bad thing considering I think it looks bad a**.
