Just noticed Peugeot use the same perforation in the nose of his proto at Sebring test.
(BTW what are the temperatures like in Florida during winter?)

First time I see it on a closed wheels / closed cockpit car. Cooling makes more sense in this case though.

On second thought, maybe it's used here mainly to cool down supention fluids, because there are already some gills just under the windshield...
