yeah i understand that but i mean there hasn't been many things that were found out wrong with our cars that X modification would help in pretty much every scenarios.


Maybe ideal isn't the right term but what would theorically be the best out of the available options and why. This is a pretty vague question, i'll try to ask some more specific things


My questions are all for building a race car by the way so we can go all out in the solutions.


We just started thinking about what we could do to help with the aero on our cars and this is why i am making research as i know nothing about it.


We are currently aiming at doing the same thing as the Griffon with having the air from the rad coming out the hood, in theory that would be a good idea?


1-What could be done to get the air out of the engine bay?


2-in the picture above, you can see the inner fender, we took those out on our race car, are they usefull in term of aero, theorically, good or bad to take them off (not considering the obvious mud that can enter the engine bay we don't car for that)


3-read that the base of the windshield is a high pressure zone, would putting something to cover up that part (removing the wipers) and making a better flow from the hood to the windshield help?


4- some people do holes at the base of the rear window on their lexan window, does it actually helps taking the pressure out of the cabin or does it hurt too much air flow over the car to actually help? (this is a hard one, doubt anyone ever tested that)


i'll have more questions later but don't want to overload the thread
