Those are my new secret advanced prototype racing stripes. They were carefully crafted and installed taking full advantage of the Bernoulli Principle and Venturi Effect as well as the Damocles Theorem. The high ambient temperature and even higher asphalt surface temp required some ingenuity to help compensate for the fluctuating downforce that would be encountered. So the radiancy ratio of the door panels was put to work with the stripes deflecting heat laterally to passively channel air in a longitudinal tangent and reduce the static friction cosine. It netted me about +5 hp per side as well as +3MPG and approximately 12 lbs of downforce. Probably helped cut about 2 seconds off my laptimes.
