But then again, the Pugs are largely in 2009 spec, aside from parts added to the cars for rules compliance, and to counter the 2010 engine regs.
And does anyone think that the ACO's rules with the rear fender louvers has also backfired, as it seems that only Lola's intrepretation is within the "spirt" of the rules?
The Pescarolos run louvers that are angled upward with a slight dropoff trailing edge. The Pugs run a blanking panel that's shaped like the underside of a dive plane. And the Audi R15's solution is probably the most complex, as it's(or was) believed to have an inner set of louvres that angled downwards and fed the air onto adjacent upward angled louvres. That may or may not be the case.
But it's another example of how muddy the ACO's rules wording appears and how teams can take advantage of someting inteneded to slow the cars to at least maintain the pace of previous years.
