23:55 is interesting as they talk about the underbody aero.

For the high downforce configuration, the stall gurneys are removed for more front downforce. It needs to be balanced by additional rear downforce as well. This is what Porsche practices too.
I hope this puts to rest once and for all what the front corner felt pieces on our M3s actually do, and why getting rid of them is not a bad thing. |
Some weak DF numbers after that GT3 RS release at nearly 2000lbs at equal speeds… That said, yup sounds like they're for improved fuel economy. But maybe there's a better place to move this convo?
