Chicken.

How does a chicken help the car go from last to midfield?

Or better yet what are they referring to?

no, no, the chicken doesn't make it go faster, if you put a chicken in a chimney by the time the race is finished it'll be nicely cooked.

The chicken is actually used as a ballast to compensate for Sato's and Ant's low body weight.

I think he means "Chicken" wings, these are the winglets that sit behind the chimneys on the sidepods.

Aren't the T-wings the ones behind the engine's air intake?
