2012 cars - lack of EBD

Yeah, I wasn't sure at what angle they could get the exhaust to flow. Looking at the area, it might be possible.

How much would the exhaust help if it blew down the middle U section of the Mclaren side pods?

Help what creating lift?

Yeah...good point. I keep thinking about getting more flow to the rear wings, but that just speeds up flow on top of the car, where you don't want it to have a lower pressure.

I'm sure the speed increase would create lift in the middle of the car over the sidepods, however I also think this would be offset by the gain in rear downforce via the beam wing. Unfortunately the exhaust outlet would block the U-pod a little, fine when it's blowing but it will reduce DF when off throttle compared to a non-blown U-pod.
