To the wheel well? No. The air has to be directly directly to the hub so that the rotation will pump it through the center of the rotor and cool it evenly. It's not a magic cure, but it will lower rotor temperatures by 150 degrees or so which makes quite a difference.

Honestly if you are just a casual HPDE driver I wouldn't get too worked up over it for now, just run the best pads and fluid you can and things will hold together. When you start pushing the car really hard then this is an upgrade you will want.
