That is what I am assuming is happening, my hope is with an open hood design we see the ambient temps are able to drop around the engine allow some air flow even while the car is sitting.
This will allow hotter air to get away from the car and bring fresh/cooler air to the radiator keeping temps down without creating heat soak.
