Some of those pics do look photoshopped...look at the sides of the cars on some of them, they're clearly not real. I do believe that most are real though, its very possible...

I wonder if that cut out in front of the wheel makes a difference?

I wouldn't think so but :eh: I could see some ricers sporting that :chuckles:

You know Rick thats a very interesting question. I am guessing that helps with the aerodynamics.

I don't know much about aerodynamics but I doubt it will do much. Because of the tires rotation, I would think the air passing through that area would be turbulent.

You generally want a solid frontal area so the air will go around the tires :eh: that's just my guess.

Maybe the cut out is too try to keep the tires cooler with the air hitting it so they can last longer without a tire change :idunno: :-/

It can't be a series rule because the Vauxhall and the MG don't have it. Hmmm maybe Honda knows something the others don't. I can't wait for December when SpeedTV finally shows us the replays.
