I have been thinking about how a lot of teams run lots of rake on their setups and i assume it is to add more volume under the car to ensure enough air is feeding the diffuser. Also every team is trying to find ways of feeding the diffuser either by EBD or other solutions. Since the rules have clamped down on feeding the diffuser from the top of the floor, has any team experimented with feeding the diffuser by way of the the rear wheels?
The wheel sits above and below the floor, it also has to have air pass through it to cool the brakes. I assume the air goes from the inside of the wheel and exits outside the wheel. What if a solution was found to cool the brakes by having the air enter through the outside of the wheel, cool the brake, then exit from the lower part of the wheel into the diffuser area?
