Lotus T127 – Bargeboards

Lotus T127 has quite simple triangular shaped bargeboards with their rear part to be connected directly onto the floor turning vanes . Bargeboards play a key role on managing the airflow to the radiators and around the sidepod bottoms but have less influence on under floor aero efficiency .

The C29 exhausts of periscope style blow up and inwards ( hot emissions in red ) while under them there is also a hot air outlet to help car cooling ( hot air exit in orange ) .
At very hot conditions Sauber had the option to use gills around the exhaust bodywork .
