Your point really doesn’t help the argument that maximal airflow is necessary. Apparently, according to you, rally cars need to avoid mud so much that they blocked off airflow, and yet, they are still able to successfully compete in rally racing with high horsepower motors and mud on the front with small openings. Those Group B cars were pushing 500hp. Just saying. Seems like all this fuss is for nothing, but maybe someone might want to fight for an extra 3-5 horsepower, or what type of losses are we really expecting from an oil cooler in front of an intercooler?

Group B pushed 500hp and 80's F1 cars pushed 1500hp. Ultimately, irellevent.
