  1. That blue one has a front splitter and it is the official RB one, though I think we can all agree the RB kit is very much form over function. 

     

    I think his point about air to wheels was that you should use aero other than the diffuser to achieve it, not that you shouldn't do it at all.

     

    Aerodynamic principles are the same for every car, but the design has to change massively depending on the application and regulations.

     

    Taking his FSAE example, those guys spend years tuning their aero (CFD, lapsim, wind tunnel) and some work closely with the likes of Porsche, so they know what they are doing. The important point though was that FSAE is pretty much unrestricted, the rules only really limit the package size, so the design can be fully optimised without having to bodge stuff or develop workarounds to meet regs.
