This team built the airbox in front of the radiator with the top angled down as it runs from the radiator to the front grille opening. The old box ran straight from the top of the radiator to the top of the nosepiece and did not allow enough air space for a low-pressure area to exist. The gain in downforce from this design is estimated at over 180 pounds.
