Actually, the leading edge of an F1 or Indy car wing is slightly blunt. In fact, if you look closely at an F1 car, you'll see that are aren't many sharp leading edges at all on them.

So I suppose the builders of F1 racers, and the proponents of blunt-faced intake dividers are wrong, and you alone have seen the light, correct?

I'll leave you with a quote from The Old One:

Things of note are the symmetry of each bowl, the blended seats, and the width of the "blunt" divider. We keep this wide and softly radiused because it reduces the tendency for turbulence that's often associated with sharp dividers. Remember, the leading edges of airfoils aren't sharp.
This stays closed until Mike or one of the other mods deems it necessary to respond.
