Thanks for bringing this thread back to top. =D>

What's the reasoning behind the elements behind the rear wheels, mini-diffusers?

TBH I don't know what they were trying to do.

A NASCAR oddity (I do love that they had to sell these to the public!)

Maybe an attempt a tidying the airflow there?

That looks like the upper 2 diffusers are taking air from the undercut in the sidepods. Is this correct?

Would it be possible to duct the airflow like that to try to replicate the effect of the blown diffuser for 2014?
