Question

Not sure about this. I'm only an enthusiastic amateur, but I thought the function of the splitter was on the front of the car to increase airflow under the car, lowering air pressure and creating downforce. The rear of the car has wings for downforce, or spoilers to reduce lift, and most importantly, a diffuser to accelerate airflow to produce downforce together with a upward airflow behind the car, adding more downforce.

A splitter going backwards doesn't do it for me. Am I missing something?

It was the visual effect i was after. Didn't consider the aero. Does the underside of the car really do much? Design pack cars have a similar shape going on at the back albeit not as pronounced as these.

Yeah, there’s little in the way of function with those rear whiskers.
