Do not think he is really interested in really going fast as you try to keep the air from

You try to keep it under the vehicle and what has to go thru the radiator/etc, you
try to extract that air using the TA style fender vents.

The tiny front spoiler and small height side "skirts" does nothing. Way too small in area.

As far as venting engine compartment pressure building up from air coming through the front of the car/radiator, the hood has large heat extractors pulling air and heat out. Not a full blown land speed car so concessions were made. Out of curiosity: How fast is fast enough to be considered “serious”? Car has gone 196.
