Something is bugging me a little bit.

They talk about the importance of lower drag but they choose an open front splitter, isn't a closed one better for that purpose ?
Better for that purpose under the current regulations. Perrinn addresses that when he states, "It is not black and white, it will depend on how far each solution is developed. So in my opinion, it is important to commit to one direction quickly and develop it." Details become a bit more nuanced when we're looking at ACO2014 vs. what we currently understand. But also understand his quote also speaks to practicalities; at some point you need to move on and develop either one or the other concept.
