 The
duct in front of the rear wheel is interesting. It is interesting
because it doesn't feed any sort of cooler directly. So what's its
primary purpose then? This duct takes air in to fill in the base
area behind the car thereby reducing drag. The bodywork "coke bottles"
in around the engine and gearbox. |
 Looking
forward with the gearbox removed. The ducts tuck inside the rear
wheels. Various minor cooling duties are performed by the ducts (brakes,
engine bay ventilation), but their primary purpose is aerodynamic. |
 An
interesting detail on the Intersport B2K/40 is the increased chord of the
roll over hoop structure fairing. |
 While
orginally designed for the SR2 category which forbade rear diffusers, 4
years on and the current LMP2 comeptitors have resorted to adding on rear
diffuers in search of more performance. |
