Default Downforce over the front wheels theory *pic*

The VIS invader hood has a large vent across the front. now if the engine bay gets air from underneath and it rushes up into the bay towards the top, wouldnt it continue thru the vent and out towars the back creating a good amount of downforce at higher speeds? this is what the hood looks like...

a mclearan f1 has a similar concept
and if i understand your post, yea i think it would get you some downforce....but youd have to have the front grill directly lined up to the hood scoop. i think your engine would be in the way anyways

even if there is any downforce, it would not be enough be very useful because of how little it is.
