As
pointed out before on the Lola B2K/40
and the B01/60,
the B05/40 also utilizes a duct in front of the rear wheels to pull air
into the base area of the car to reduce drag. Clearly this is a design
element that works and Lola has continued to take advantage of its benefits.
Notice the brake duct. |

With
the rear bodywork removed notice how simple the rear brake duct cooling
is. |
