Designed for better aerodynamics. Car aero updates (V9):Fixed the front "parachute effect" causing severe drag (0.89 $C_d$) and poor front downforce. Added an internal "Y" shaped split-duct inside the chassis. Routed front inlet air to exit directly behind the front wheels (outwash). Created a pneumatic air curtain along the sides to seal the underbody. Kept the center roofline completely closed and clean for the engine snorkel. Retained the current exhaust angle to preserve the 695kg blown diffuser downforce. Modeled physical 3D tunnels in CAD, removing the need for artificial CFD boundary hacks.
