It's interesting to see, then, how the heath generated inside the sidepods flows maybe into the diffuser, while the hot air coming out from the radiators placed above the Honda PU exits from the upper tail hole on the back above the rear suspension: in this case the hot air should engage the beam wing and enhance air extraction from under the diffuser"...
IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE BY THE RULES ???
It seems to me it is not only illegal, but eventually also illogical since it could disrupt/destroy the flow under the car in a critical area...
What do you think?
Can someone kindly share his/her view on this, please? Thank you very much.
Diffusers work on a very similar principle to a pair of human lungs. As the vehicle armed with such a device moves along, the leading edge of it close to the ground, i e: the throat or kick point, is set to draw in air much the same as a pair of depleted human lungs. As you read this open and hold your lips slightly apart and breath in. Suck at it sufficiently enough and you’ll feel air pulling at both lips. That exercise represents the passage of a diffuser over and above a very short length of roadway. The difference between lungs and a diffuser though lies in the fact that the diffuser never stops breathing in. Don’t hyperventilate but try the exercise again but this time pinch your nose before your lungs fill.
