I just fell into this discussion. If the mesh is so restrictive how come we can buy a factory mesh screen that they use on the cup cars and with that you say the cup cars have air flow problems? It’s just a thought.

A wing increases aerodynamic drag, yet provides needed downforce to keep the rear end planted. You trade one thing against another to arrive at an optimum solution for your particular need.

I just went back and read "14" and I still say the factory has a part number for mesh. It is the same that they use on the cup cars (arrow kit only) and they seem to win many races with a very little overheating.

Like I said, you increase the size of the heat exchangers to compensate for the protective screens, this adds some weight to the car, which can be shed in other areas that are not important for a cup race car.

I beg to differ, and I agree with rome above...I've been driving Porsches for 20 years and have not had anything more significant from road debris than rock chips.
I've never heard of anybody having to spend $1,500 to repair damage from an imperceptible impact.
