Video of Nismo wing aero testing

Another section this would be useful and effective testing I'd like to see would be along the front nose to the sides, where canards are usually placed. The gain from a a true canard is from a swirling turbulance created along the open wheel well, reducing drag by discouraging further air from entering the high-pressure area. Dive planes by themselves are not often efficient in the drag they create.

Every time I look at the nismo nose I can't help but see the resemblance in aero design to a canard effect. There is a reason you see the same design on all of the Nissan SuperGT cars (GT-R too).

Another area to examine: our oversized mirrors. What are they doing for or against us? I have a suspicion they help reduce drag caused by running with open windows (a motorsports staple).

Gotta give credit to the engineering behind our [relatively cheap] cars.
