If anyone has access to some CFD tools; (yeah right)
I'd like to see the effect of a typical smooth surface eg. F1 body work vs. the same body work only fabricated with many small grooves running length wise with the flow of air.
I believe this might show a reduced surface area to the oncoming flow of air.
If so, this would allow the device / F1 car to slip through the air much cleaner resulting in faster trap speeds with the same amount of downforce as the non grooved bodywork.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.
