About bardgeboards: they immediately gave a DF improvement of +3%...not bad considering the very small drag penalty. Some tuning will increase the downforce by a good amont of newtons...

From what i observed, a bardgeboard works in 3 different ways: it causes a pressure differential that 1=extracts air from under the nose, helping front DF; 2=creates a vortex (which means low pressure and energized airflow) that goes under the floor, helping middle and rear DF; 3=creates a vortex that goes over the floor and plays with the sidepods.
