Third: the form of rear part of aero underbody (diffuser) in details is not that crucial in this kind of full length underbody arrangement as it is if you have overall flag bottom and only aero is the diffuser and splitter. Even in old C group arrangements there was plenty of suspension and exhaust elements in the tunnel freely, especially others than Porsche. They do disturb the air flow, but the big picture is most important.
Most important part in underbody aerodynamics is under front axle and floor plate under driver. Rear needs mainly to be just continuously growing tunnel(sectionwise) so it can be done many ways under and around the engine. |
Hey I did not know you ditched the studs for rivets for the cylinders/heads!
Seriously, I've always thought there's lack of concern (or maybe lack of understanding?) among Porsche designers/aerodynamics leaving areas wide open within the wheel wells.
