I styled my car in the old John Player Special F-1 livery.

Granted, there are probably cases where something else is influencing it, and making it low pressure, but i have not seen it. |

That area of the car is always higher pressure. I am sure there is a way to make it low pressure, but in general, that area is a terrible choice for evacuating air. |

Red Arrow: Best for evacuation, lowest pressure Orange Arrow: Good for evacuation, low pressure Yellow Arrow: Worst place for evacuation on the entire hood. This location has the highest pressure and would result in the least productive evacuation. Likely air would actually make its way *into* the engine bay. People reduce complexity on CFD models to aid in solving. There are industry standards (followed by OE's, privateers, and race teams) that are accepted because they do not result in incorrect results. Hope that helps, Eric |

I don't mind if I'm wrong. I just don't think pointing to the pressure distribution on the top surface of the hood tells the full story, or that the underhood pressure isn't a factor. Last edited by gtengr; 01-19-2018 at 09:48 PM. |

For what it's worth, carbon parts can add functionality to street cars, too. To say it is "purely cosmetic" I think is selling carbon short. Maybe that's all he cares about, but true carbon parts bring more to the table than style, regardless of implementation or appreciation.

I did an experiment for the vent at the cowl area on 2016. With the help of a Gurney flap, at least it blows out some air. I guess a blocking vertical barrier that divides low pressure zone and high pressure zone could help more. I know it cannot blow out as much air that hood vent can. But could be better than nothing.
