Set dive planes to 20 degree down bubble, make your depth 100 meters

Actually, I understand the general idea behind them, I was more interested in why Porsche moved them from "outside" the body work to "inside." Any ideas about on that part?

Not sure, all i can think of is that perhaps this way, it further ameliorates the high pressure area on eithe rside of the central radiator duct, thus further reducing front lift.

Maybe due to rules? If there is a maximum width and they widened the car maybe they have no choice? The inboard canards seem counter to what every one else is doing. Maybe they figured something out and in a year everyone will start doing them ha.

Not really fair for the RSR, since it's based on a production car shell, while DTM is a CF orgy and a wet dream for a race engineer. Dunno about the new cars, but a few years ago a GT1 car couldn't catch a DTM car on a aero-track.

Crazy Aussie series might not run the most advanced technology, but are sure great entertainment.

The weirdest thing about the new RSR is lack of bodywork behind the tires... must be a reason. Looks like they ran out of CF.

Interesting observation. Is there an exit point at the rear of the front wheel flare? Brake cooling opening inclusive of dive/aero planes? Surely they can't just be feeding up to a bit of closed panel...

Furthermore, the RSR is restricted according to BOP.
