Not necessary mate, so without trying to teach grandma to suck eggs, in case you already know.......

The "strakes" as they are called which hang down inside the diffuser, dont create any downforce. what they do is create a vortex along the bottom edge, this prevents the air that goes from the front of the splitter right down the middle to the diffuser from spilling sidewards and keeps it channeled down the middle.

But more importantly stops turbulent air from the rear wheels from spilling into the diffuser and upsetting the low pressure/high velocity air that you have created from the rest of aero mods.

To summarise, they dont add, but help prevent losing downforce that youve created by other means.

You will also see the 2 x 90 degree bends in the flat floor. An absolute pig to mould in grp as fibreglass doesnt like to conforming to 90 degree bends, but the lower 90 bend also creates a vortex and does the same job as prevent air from moving.

For clarity, turn to page 102 of your Simon Mcbeath book, Figure 5-10. Shows the vortex created with that condition.

Good shout tho  :13:
