It’s been super fun to work with you guys on Mike’s car. Thank you for the big push to get us to SEMA with a new front package, and I can’t wait to do more CFD with some other parts we have cooking up.
One thing I've learned with fender vents over the years is that it tends to have strong interaction with the rear wing tip vortices(potentially disruptive as well as synergistic). The height of the rear wing in relation to the tire wake has a big impact on the efficiency of the wing, particularly under yaw. Jacky Ding saw that with his M2 after he installed fender vents his car had a lot more understeer mid corner, because the wake of the wheel was synergizing with the rear wing tip vortex.
@@VerusEngineering Exactly, for example instead of running top mounted vents, you can lower the wake a bit by venting from behind the wheels like you did here. That will weaken the wake and wing tip interaction, since the upper tire wake and wing tip vortex co-rotate, the merging process can cause transient instability.

You're welcome! It definitely was a push but we're glad we could help.

This is definitely something that needs to be kept in mind when developing packages like this.
