Looks a little fussy, but definitely has better visual impact compared to the RBHRT cars.

Why do they insist on putting the names and numbers over the NACA ducts?

Why do they need NACA ducts at all when ventilation air is designed to come thru the scoop at the front of the roof....?

As you can see from the image, they're pointing in opposite directions.

One is a vent (out), and the other is a duct (in).

There is some theory, which dates back to pre-aero super touring days, and probably further back still, that some science applied to gaps in the sides of the glasshouse can alter the aerodynamic characteristics of the car.

I have said it before Tim Edwards needs to get a Mark Dutton like person in to run the team & Tim take on a Roland Dane role. Also put both Frosty & Chaz back together in the same pit. Put the love child ( Waters ) in with Bright. If PRA want to beat Red Bull act like Red Bull first. Just my opinion.

I have some vague memory that a 888 car was penalised for taping up those side ducts a few years back

They have slots cut in the lexan windows to aid emergency removal. These slots were taped off for whatever reason.

Jack LB then? He's not at PRA next year or Shae Davies had a good stint at Erebus both have good backing as well
