In the 1st episode of the new Top Gear series on Sunday when talking about the Ferrari He mentioned that the 430 Scuderia has slats in the wheel arches to improve airflow as cars tend to have pressure increase in that area.
I guess this causes drag?
I know the odds of my going so fast I'll notice the effect of air pressure in my wheel wells are low, BUT if it improved fuel consumption by a tiny amount or stability on the motorway I wonder how easy it would be to do?
Only really thinking about this as my rear bumper is badly scratched in what I'm guessing would be the right kinda places anyway.
