I wouldn’t want that intake solution. It’s deliberate

Drift intake is a completely different applications.

Rear mounted radiator is primarily to protect the radiator from impact and acknowledge a lack of ram air affect on the front of the car. Putting that huge intake off the rear glass would impact the rear wing, which isn’t a concern for drift either.

Rally teams are more appropriate application, albeit still different. For me this is a weight placement research project.




This website has endless aero rally analysis. Super fun place to get lost in.
