FWIW..... Eric @ P-Motorsports told me the vented quarter window weren't designed for ventilation. He stated they were intended to deflect or direct wind around the wing hence the lip faces rearward....

Any one else heard this?

Thanks for the input!

I can tell you they don't do shinola for cooling the cockpit. I was going to leave the door lexan in but now I am going to run a window net and only the lexan on the passenger side. PCA CR rules say you can't race with a fixed driver's side window.

....and yes I am faster with the gilled quarter lexan as is JR : )

26 if you want to reproduce the livery contact Jupeman and 38D here on the RL. They do a great job.
